Spain is the second-worst affected country in the world with 140,510 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 13,798 deaths.
43,208 people have also recovered from the virus in Spain.
On Saturday Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the country would continue to live in lockdown until at least April 26.
‘Flattening the curve was our first objective,’ he said. ‘We’re getting close. But I ask everyone for sacrifice and resistance.
‘The next objective is to reduce infections even more until the number of new contagions is lower than the number of people recovering each day.’
