Spain has recorded zero deaths from coronavirus in the last 24 hours for the first time since March. The breakthrough was announced by the Ministry of Health this afternoon and comes as the country eyes the end of its strict confinement rules.
In the last week, 35 people have died from Covid-19, bringing the total to 27,127 since the start of the pandemic. Likewise, newly-diagnosed have been reduced to 71 in the last 24 hours, which places the total number of people infected, and confirmed by a test, at 239,638.
In addition, 11,399 people have been admitted to an intensive care unit since the crisis began but just nine in the last seven days, and 123,879 have required hospitalisation.
