A minute of silence has been held at Madrid's Puerta Del Sol in memory of those who have died of coronavirus in Spain. Spain has become the third country to confirm more cases of COVID19 than China - more here:

Confirmed COVID-19 cases have increased by 6,398 since Sunday to reach 85,195 in total, Spain's health ministry said.

The country has now joined the United States and Italy in having more cases than China, which had confirmed 82,156 cases as of Monday. At midday on Monday, a minute's silence was held in Madrid, Spain's hardest hit city, for those who have died as an adagio was heard in one of the capital's best known squares, Puerta del Sol

Monday's figures for those who have died in Spain were slightly less than Sunday, when 838 people died - the highest number yet for the country.Spain's government has ordered that flags be flown at half-mast and a minute's silence be observed every day to pay respects to those who have died. Its healthcare system is struggling to cope with the number of seriously ill patients at once, with hotels converted into makeshift hospitals and a Madrid ice rink turned into a temporary morgue.

Coronavirus live news: Spain records new highest daily death toll; Australia limits public gatherings to twoNew York, New Jersey and Connecticut halt non-essential travel; global deaths pass 30,000 with one-third in Italy I appreciate the daily report on deaths in Spain and Italy. I appreciate more a response to why in the UK there isn't a live update of cases and deaths, as it exists in Spain.Why the information is given with such delay? why isn't accesible on newspapers covers? Your live blog reports that 'Switzerland death toll rises by 235' when it actually rose to 235. Then repeated on recap. Can you make a bit more effort to report accurately and reduce the sensationalism?
