BREAKING: Spain's coronavirus death toll tops 2,000 after 462 more die
Spain’s death toll from Covid-19 has topped 2,000 after the country reported 462 more deaths in the past 24 hours.
The news comes just as shocking footage emerged showing patients lying on the floor of Madrid hospitals as they wait to be seen by medical staff. Some of them can be seen coughing, while others appeared to be hooked up to oxygen tanks. Many other patients can then be seen sitting in rows of chairs wearing face masks. Several of them look as though they are attached to IV drips.The footage, filmed in the Infanta Leonor Hospital and the Severo Ochoa de Leganes Hospital, was published by local media in a bid to encourage more people to stay at home and obey social distancing restrictions.Spain became the fourth country to register more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus just last week, following Italy, China and Iran.
Italy is currently the epicentre of the virus, with more than 5,400 deaths and over 60,000 confirmed cases of the disease.
