Spain’s daily CCP virus cases and deaths from COVID-19, the disease the virus causes, both dropped on Saturday, the Ministry of Health said.

Spain’s 4,850 new cases represented only a 3 percent increase. The number of new deaths, 510, was the lowest in nearly three weeks. Over 2,000 of the new cases were in Madrid or Catalonia, the two hardest hit regions.
