COVID-19 cases surpass 860,000 in Spain
Spain has recorded at least 861,112 cases of novel coronavirus, says the data released by the country’s Health Ministry, Trend reports citing TASS.
On Thursday, the ministry reported 848,324 COVID-19 cases and 32,929 fatalities.
The Health Ministry does not provide statistics on the COVID-19 deaths in the past 24 hours, but says that 541 people died in the past week.
Spain declared a state of high alert in mid-March to restrict non-essential travel. The lockdown was eased on June 21. After restrictions were loosened, the country saw a resurgence of coronavirus cases. Local outbreaks are recorded more frequently, which has forced the authorities in some regions to re-impose tougher quarantine measures.
