Dr Fernando Simon Soria, Director of the Centre for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies for the Ministry of Health has warned that we must learn to live with the virus and the changes that it will bring as there is more and less transmission. He said “there will be cases where we will have to implement stricter measures on the restriction of movement and there will be times where there will be less severe measures.” Spain currently has the European record for positive Covid19 cases breaking the 400,000 barrier today with total cases now at 405,436 which is almost 10% of the cases in Europe. However, it is important to note that Spain has carried out over 5.8 Million PCR tests to date and the hospitals throughout Spain currently have 5.1% of their beds occupied by Covid19 patients.
