Spain and Italy have reported their lowest death tolls associated with Covid-19 since mid-March, with the number of deaths Spain from the coronavirus below 100 for the first time in two months.
The Spanish health ministry has said the country's death toll has increased by 87 to 27,650, while the number of confirmed cases edged up to 231,350 from 230,698.
Spain introduced one of Europe's strictest lockdowns on 14 March in a bid to contain the virus, which threatened to overwhelm the country's health service.
As the population has remained largely confined to their homes, the rate of new infections and fatalities has steadily fallen, prompting the government to begin unwinding the lockdown.
