Hopes rise that Spain is passing its peak
The number of people to have died in Spain in one day has fallen for the third day in a row, to 674.
The total death toll is now 12,418, with 130,759 total confirmed cases.
While Spain reached a grim milestone this weekend - its number of cases surpassing Italy's yesterday - the figures are also raising hopes that the country is passing the peak of its outbreak.
Today's daily death toll is the lowest in 10 days, and the first time since 26 March that fewer than 700 people have died in a one-day period.
However, the fight is far from over for Spain. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez extended the nation's lockdown for another three weeks until 26 April, telling the nation that the restrictions were "saving lives".
In an op-ed published in Spanish newspaper El País and British newspaper the Guardian today, Mr Sánchez also warned the rest of Europe not to be complacent.
"It is time to break with old, national dogmas. We have entered a new era and we need new responses. Let us hold on to our positive values and reinvent the rest," he wrote.
"We must act now or never, because, right at this moment, Europe itself is at stake."

Dr. Javier Arranz has again expressed his optimism regarding coronavirus in the Balearics.
Although Sunday's figures revealed small increases in the numbers of cases and fatalities, he said at the Sunday press conference that "we are continuing on the downward path; it is good news". Stressing that any decisions are for the national government to make, he raised the possibility of a relaxation of restrictions in the Balearics and also in the Canaries.
"The island regions are in a better position to act as a laboratory. It would be a good option to start lowering the measures, as the rest of the country could see how this works and what the results are." He recognised that any relaxation in the island regions would have to take account of how this would look to the rest of the country, "but society has to understand if it is feasible (to start relaxing measures)".
"It's not up to us," he emphasised, adding that he was simply offering his expert and professional opinion.

This is great news.
Although I would question those who are arguing that zero tolerance does work on the basis of the Spanish figures.
They have the second highest death toll and that is huge based on proportionality and the relative progress through the pandemic.
There's a fine balance to be had here, scientists need to be focussed on what's happening here and learn from the mistakes that other countries have made not blindly adopt their policies.

It can be achieved with a tougher lockdown
THE Government of the Balearic Islands has asked that the lockdown restrictions are relaxed in the region due to a steady decrease in coronavirus cases.
Dr Javier Arranz, who leads the Government’s advisory committee on COVID-19, has proposed that the Balearic Islands acts as a ‘test laboratory’ for lifting the confinement constraints.
In this way, he believes the rest of Spain would be able to observe how the virus evolves when measures laid down in the state of alarm decree are reversed.
