translated from Spanish: Spain: 832 people died in one day and hits new daily record

In the last 24 hours Spain added 8189 coronavirus contagions, one of the highest figures since the health crisis began and which increases the number of contagions to 72,248, according to data from the Spanish Ministry of Health. The number of deaths continues to grow and, for the second day in a row, breaks the daily record with 832 deaths.40,630 people are admitted, of which 4,575 are in the Intensive Care Units (ICU). The positive fact is that the number of people cured (12,285) doubles the deceased.
The Spanish health authorities insisted in recent days that data on developments in the coronavirus epidemic show signs of stabilization, despite record death figures, as the percentage equivalent increase is observed in the deceased, between 14 and 18 per cent, and contagions, around 20 per cent. At the turn of two weeks of near-total population isolation by alarm status, the experts of the Ministry of Health still cannot verify whether Spain has already reached the peak of contagion from which they hope to bend the curve.
The authorities are preparing to receive greater pressure in the health system in the coming days, starting with the Community of Madrid, the region with the highest number of contagions, more than 21,000, and more than 1,400 people admitted in intensive care. Catalonia is already at the level of Madrid in terms of serious income, with more than 1,300 people in UCI. The head of Infectious Diseases at Vall Hospital de Hebron in Barcleona, Benito Almirante, said in radio statements that they hope that the “stabilization” of cases will arrive only next week or early next week. According to Admiral, to see the effects of population confinement, which began on March 14 and for now extends to 00.00 on April 12, it takes “a minimum of two or three weeks.” Spain received this morning at the Madrid airport of Barajas a shipment with 1.2 million beards, which will be delivered to workers of the health system, public transport and post office, as well as the state security forces.In this note:
