Spain awoke to its third week under near-total lockdown on Sunday, as the government met to approve a strengthening of measures and the coronavirus death toll rose by a record 838 cases overnight to 6,528.
Second only to Italy in fatalities, Spain also saw infections rise to 78,797 from 72,248 the day before.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, in a televised address to the nation on Saturday night, announced that all non-essential workers must stay at home for two weeks, the latest government measure in the fight against coronavirus.
He said workers would receive their usual salaries but would have to make up lost hours at a later date. The measure would last from March 30 to April 9.
Unions welcomed the measures and business groups CEOE and CEPYME said that while they would comply with the new rule, “it will generate an unprecedented huge impact on the Spanish economy, especially in sectors such as industry”.

Did someone make a mistake with their calculator?
Imagine if flu numbers were reported this anally. Normal flu deaths are 300k-600k per season.
The real virus infecting the world right now is panic and hyteria ruthlessly pumped up by the feral media.
I don’t believe Roto-Reuters - another Delusional Lying Leftist source.
No, that’s an additional virus on top of the Chinese WMD.
I wonder if this has a “season” like the flu.
Well i’ve been really hard on the folks who seem to be overly worried about this thing.
But it is far more contagious than the flu and even if it’s only a 1 percent mortality rate, that’s quite a bit higher than the flu.
If we’re seeing thousands a day drop from this thing for a protracted period of time, that could be a problem.
I think America’s number one healthcare system, as in having what is needed to treat people, will keep us away from these kinds of numbers.
Many young who survived may not have without ventilators and other supplies and medications like steroids.
God bless America as no matter what the msm and dem say, it is the most advanced and wealthy and powerful nation on earth, with the best people.
I pray it stays that way
Too bad there not treating with hydroxychloroquine, shame.
This site is getting a bit unreliable lately:

Check the new deaths number for the US. I’ve been watching it go down. Kinda weird. It’s at 10. For the whole country.
We are well on our way to blowing these numbers away, and not in a good way. Unless we start treating with hydroxychloroquine at the first sign of respitory issues expect mass casualties.
“Normal flu deaths are 300k-600k per season”
This is an estimation using “models”, right?
I don’t think the real number of deaths is counted. I’m sure you know many people who got the flu and died.
That’s great! That’s exactly what we want.
No look gift horse in mouth!
USA numbers are updated several times during the day. Most other countries are only updated once per day.
Time for the world to squeeze the Commie Chinese out of markets
Can’t a president override governors on this?
In a national emergency?
Hell even my crazy liberal state NY is giving out 10s of thousands of doses.
Exactly!
Barcelona is an international cruise ship hub that is usually humming with business and tourists. One perception is that Madrid obtains tax revenue Barcelona to keep its liberal tax and spend government afloat. So if true, Spain will get hit with a double economic whammy.
Actually just the opposite is true.
2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season: Preliminary Burden Estimates:
38-54 million flu cases
18-26 million medical visits
400-730 thousand hospitalizations
