Spain reports a new record of 864 deaths in one day while total
infections broke the 100,000 mark, making it the third country to
surpass that milestone behind the United States and Italy.
Spanish health authorities said on Wednesday that the total number of deaths reached 9,053 since the beginning of the outbreak.
Total infections hit 102,136. But the 24-hour increase of 7,719 was
1,500 fewer than the increase from the previous day, offering hope that
the contagion rate is stabilizing.
Spain is two-and-a-half weeks into a national lockdown with stay-at-home
rules for all workers except those in health care, food production and
distribution, and other essential industries.
The country is frantically working to add to the number of intensive
care units in hospitals which are quickly filling up in the country’s
hardest-hit regions.
Spanish authorities are bringing into the country 1,500 purchased
ventilator machines and asking local manufacturers to ramp up
production, with some creative solutions employed, such as snorkeling
masks repurposed as breathing masks.
