Spain’s Prime Minister is to ask Congress to extend the country’s State of Alarm for one month more extending it until June 24 as the country fights the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping across the globe.
The current State of Alarm expires on May 24 but instead of the previous (four) two-week extensions on this occasion he will be asking Congress for a four-week extension.
Today’s figures show that Spain has had 230,698 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus since the start of the pandemic. A total of 146,446 patients have been cured but the officially reported death toll is currently at 27,563.
