MADRID : Spain has reported its lowest daily death count for coronavirus infections in five weeks as its strict lockdown restrictions begin to pay dividends.
Spanish health authorities said Sunday that 288 people died from Covid-19 in the previous 24 hours, taking the total to 23,190 since the start of the outbreak.
It is the first time the daily death toll has fallen below 300 fatalities since March 20. The daily number of confirmed new infections also dropped.
Spain counts 207,634 confirmed cases overall, but authorities say that the true number of infections is unknown due to limits on testing.
