Spain said 399 people died of Covid-19 over the past 24 hours in what was the lowest daily number of deaths in four weeks, the government said on Monday.
The latest figures, which showed a slight drop from Sunday when 410 people died, brought further relief to a country which has suffered the third-highest number of virus deaths in the world after the United States and Italy.
“Today for the first time we’ve fallen under 400 deaths, although it’s only a little lower (than Sunday), these figures give us hope,” said Fernando Simon, the health ministry’s emergencies coordinator.
“These are very encouraging figures,” he said.
