Spain registers lowest daily number of deaths since March 24

Spain recorded a 605 increase in the death toll on Friday — the lowest daily number of fatalities since March 24.

According to Friday’s figures, Spain has now registered a total of 15,843 Covid-19 deaths since the outbreak began in the country. The total number of cases stands at 157,022.

Speaking at the daily press briefing on the coronavirus crisis, Dr María José Sierra from the Health Ministry’s Coordination Center for Health Alerts said that “the descending trend is continuing.”

However, these latest figures should be taken with caution, given that since the start of the crisis, data has been underreported at weekends and on public holidays. Today is a national holiday across Spain for Easter Friday, and Thursday was also a holiday in many parts of the country.
