There are now 56,188 people infected with Covid-19 throughout the country and 4,089 fatalities since the pandemic began, which is more than in China.
The Director of the Centre for Health Alerts, Fernando Simón, believes that Spain is probably approaching the peak of infections this week.

Catalonia is second with 11,592 cases, 672 deaths, 1,021 patients in intensive care and 1,697 discharged.
"The number of new cases over the last few days has grown but that growth is slowing down, although right now, we don’t know how close we are to the start of a decline,” said Dr. Fernando Simón, adding, “the trend has had two turning points, on March 8 and March 13; on this last day the trend softened.
