Never had Spain recorded so many deaths in 24 hours, but the ministry stresses that this progression, of the order of 11.6% from one day to another, is less than that observed the day before. In total, the country now has 94,417 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 contamination, an increase of slightly less than 11%. Spain is the second country after Italy with the highest number of fatal cases.
