The number of new infections and deaths from the CCP virus in Spain appear to be falling from the country’s peak, though authorities are expected to keep lockdown measures in place in an ongoing battle against the new illness.
The total death toll rose to 11,744 on Saturday from 10,935 the day before, Spain’s Health Ministry said, representing a 7 percent increase in total deaths after a 9 percent rise on Friday. That is less than half the pace of the around 20 percent increase registered a week ago.
