Reading now: 398
Spain's coronavirus death toll has overtaken that of China, rising to 3,434 after 738 people died over the past 24 hours, the government said.
Across the world, only Italy now has a higher death toll than that of Spain. In China, where the virus emerged late last year, 3,281 people have died.
The country's health ministry said the spiralling number of deaths came as Spain entered the 11th day of an unprecedented lockdown to try and rein in the Covid-19 epidemic that has now infected 47,610 people.
As the authorities stepped up testing, the number of cases showed a 20% increase on the figures for Tuesday, while the death toll showed a 27% rise over the same period.
