Today Dr Fernando Simon Soria, Director of the Centre for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies for the Ministry of Health, said that 50,455 healthcare workers had been infected since the beginning of the crisis. To put that into context it means 21.9% of all the declared cases in Spain are the frontline staff fighting to give the best care possible to patients.

In Andalusia yesterday, the minister for Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre reported that 3,622 healthcare workers had been infected since the beginning of the crisis which equates to 22.8% of all confirmed cases in Andalusia, higher than the national average. Mr Aguirre also pointed out that 73.9% of these healthcare workers have already recovered. It is clear that the healthcare workers continue to put their own health on the line to save others and we will never be able to thank them enough and their families for the work they are doing.

Every night for the last two months people have been applauding the healthcare workers from their terraces/ balconies but this Sunday everyone is asked to make a special effort to applaud these workers. Rather than let this initiative fade away you are asked to make it go out with a bang, so this Sunday at 20.00 you all have a date on you terrace or balcony.

There has been a total of 549 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is 230,183. The number of deaths has now reached 27,459 (+138). The number of people who have recovered is 144,783 (+1,409)
