Spain COVID-19 Toll Passes 4,000 But Death Rate Slows

Healthcare workers dealing with the new coronavirus crisis in Spain, hug each other as they are cheered on by people outside La Fe hospital in Valencia on March 26, 2020.Spain’s coronavirus toll surged above 4,000 Thursday but the increase in both fatalities and infections slowed, raising hopes that a drastic lockdown was starting to curb the epidemic’s spread.

And the number of cases rose to 56,188, showing an 18 percent increase, down slightly from the 20-percent rise a day earlier.Despite a national lockdown imposed on March 14, the numbers have continued to spiral, with officials warning this week would be particularly bad.The numbers “indicate a change in the trend… which make us think that we are starting to enter a phase of stabilisation,” he said.

“Practically the entire hospital is dedicated to fighting the coronavirus, both the intensive care unit and the general wards.” He said Spain wanted to radically step up the number of tests to reach 50,000 per day, up from a current average of 15,000-20,000.
