Very worrying Annis - They are saying it will get worse before it gets better here with the peak meant to be coming next weekend,

Hopefully by the end of the lockdown the cases will have reduced drastically.

I am still surprised UK is not on full lockdown yet.

Stay safe - stay home

The number of people to have died after testing positive for coronavirus in Spain has surged by 832 to 5,690.

A further 8,189 cases were detected in the country in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 72,248.

Professor Julio Mayol, medical director at the Clinico San Carlos Hospital in Madrid, has told Sky News he fears more and more healthcare professionals fighting the illness will become infected.

He said: "It is a bad situation, it is really bad and it is getting worse day by day, because the number of positive COVID-19 patients is increasing."We can provide them with more beds, but we need personal protection equipment (PPE), and there is a global shortage, and this is makes it very difficult for us to send healthcare workers to battle on the frontline without the adequate equipment."


"We have a large number of patients, and the problem is we can't increase the room available.
