Overwhelming figures of covid-19 in Spain and official mourning in Madrid

In a 24-hour period, another 812 deaths were recorded in Spain due to the coronavirus. It is still an overwhelming figure, although it marks a slight downward trend in the number of deaths compared to previous days. The confirmation of more than 3,500 new cases complicates the panorama for health institutions, especially due to the casualties of the more than 12,000 infected among health personnel. With more than 7,300 deaths, the need for space for the corpses has forced the setting up of a second makeshift morgue in Madrid. The flags in the capital wave at half-mast after official mourning was decreed.
