Spain Reports Fewest New Virus Deaths in More Than Six Weeks

(Bloomberg) -- Spain recorded the fewest new coronavirus deaths in more than six weeks, as the nation begins gradually relaxing Europe’s strictest lockdown and easing weeks of confinement.

There were 164 new fatalities, bringing total deaths to 25,264, according to Health Ministry data. That compared with 276 daily fatalities reported Saturday. Total infections rose by 838 to 217,466, down from the previous increase of 1,147. The figures include adjustment on how previous new cases were counted in certain regions, the ministry said.
