The death toll in Spain from the coronavirus rose to 20,043, as 565 more people died in the country, the Health Ministry said on Saturday.
74,662 HAVE RECOVERED SO FAR
The country’s total confirmed cases also jumped by another 4,499, bringing the total to 192,920. Since the beginning of the crisis, 74,662 people have been reported to have recovered from the disease in Spain.
Spain, like the UK government, also previously purchased allegedly flawed rapid test kits from a Chinese manufacturer.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is expected to address the nation today to directly propose extending the lockdown until May 11.
