Spain has recorded its lowest daily death toll in two months, as it emerges from strict lockdown restrictions.
The Health ministry of Spain says 143 people have died in the past 24 hours, taking Spain’s total number of fatalities to 26,621.
It’s the lowest daily figure since 18th March, two days into lockdown. The peak was reached on April 2nd April, when the country recorded 950 deaths.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday that large parts of the country, covering 51% of the population, would begin ‘’phase one’’ of a four-step lockdown transition on Monday.
Private gatherings of up to 10 people or fewer can be held and shops that sell non-essential items can open.
Bars and restaurants will also operate.
Madrid, Barcelona and other badly affected areas will have to wait for at least another week to move to ‘’phase one’’.
