For the second consecutive day, Spain did not register any death by Covid-19, according to data released this Tuesday by the Spanish Ministry of Health. The official figures published this afternoon by the Spanish Government report a total of 27,127 deadly victims of this disease, as they did yesterday and Monday.
The country has recorded 137 cases of infection with the new coronavirus in the last 24 hours, with more than half (73) diagnosed in the community of Madrid. Thus, Spain today registered 239,932 people infected by the virus, 294 more than yesterday.
However, if the official number of new cases is not controversial, the same is not true of deaths. Although the Spanish Ministry of Health guarantees in the daily bulletin that there have been no more fatalities in the last 24, the principality of Asturias says that there were six in this territory and the Madrid community guarantees that there were 12 in the region.
The local press writes that the Minister of Health of Castilla y León, Verónica Casado, said this afternoon that she does not understand the figures from the Ministry of Health and says that the total amount was not changed when several communities confirmed new deaths.
