Health authorities in England have reported that the age range of the dead ranges from 33-103, with 29 deaths not involving patients with background illness.

At the same time, Health Minister Matt Hancock has warned that a general locksmith will not be escaped across the island, after many citizens across the kingdom have failed to obey instructions. "If you do not want us to prohibit leaving the houses, you must follow the guidelines. Let's not allow a small minority to spoil us all," Hancock said.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Ethiopian authorities reported a first death in the country from the virus. The number of patients diagnosed in the African country is 43. In South Sudan, the first case of infection was reported.

Spain: Decrease in numbers - 674 dead a day

The third country with the third largest number of infections in the world, Spain, today reported a decline in data, with the opening of the fourth week of civilian closure.

Yesterday the number of deaths in the country was 12,418, the world's second highest figure, after Italy. The deaths of 674 people in the last day are considered to be down, compared to Saturday's numbers, which stood at 809.

The head of the Spanish security team, General Miguel Angel Villaruia, said: "Today I want to give a message of hope. We are on the right path to winning the virus."

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced last night the extension of the state of emergency to April 26, calling it "the biggest crisis of our time". It is estimated that after Easter some businesses in the country will return to partial activity, but shops, restaurants and cafes will remain closed.

Italian Foreign Minister: "Preparing for the next stage"

With more than 15,000 deaths from the Corona virus, Italy is the country with the highest deaths in the world and almost a quarter of all deaths in the world are Italian. But along with the deaths, the government is also facing the huge economic devastation caused by the closure and cessation of business operations in the country since the beginning of March.

Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza said today: "It is too early to determine when we can remove the restrictions. We have another difficult month ahead. Our mission at present is to learn to live with the virus until they are vaccinated."

The fall in the number of dead in recent days has sparked hopes among Italians, which has focused attention on tackling the next phase - the national recovery with the economic crisis. "If we are reckless back to normal, we risk throwing all our efforts this past month into the trash."

At the same time, Sparanza announced that the government had already begun developing a five-step plan that would ease the restrictions before the Italians returned to a "normal" lifestyle.

In the meantime, Pope Francis today has his regular Sunday sermon, in the week leading up to the Easter event, which usually draws thousands of people to St. Peter's Square but, due to the Corona, it was held with a limited number of clergy.

The Pope said that "the tragedy we are experiencing today invites him to take the important things seriously and not consider the less important things, because life is measured in love."
