The number of new COVID-19 cases and new deaths continued to fall in Spain, according to the daily data published by the Spanish Ministry for Health on Monday.
The total number of confirmed cases recorded in the 24 hours between Sunday and Monday rose by 4,273 to 135,032 from 130,759. The growth has slowed down continuously. A total of 6,023 new infections were registered between Saturday and Sunday, fewer than the 7,026 new cases in the previous 24 hours and 7,472 between Thursday and Friday.
The number of deaths rose by 637 from 12,418 to 13,055.
This is down from the 674 new deaths reported on Sunday. It means the number of new deaths in a 24-hour period has fallen for four consecutive days from a high of 950 deaths recorded on April 2.
A total of 59,662 patients now need hospital treatment in Spain, 918 more than on Sunday, with 6,931 requiring intensive care — just 70 more than those on Sunday, helping lift some pressure in Spain’s hospitals.
