The Spanish Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Services on Monday reported a drop in the numbers of daily COVID-19 deaths and new cases in the country. Over half of Spain's population have seen an easing of lockdown restrictions starting Monday, as some areas have moved into the second stage of the government's "asymmetrical" plan to gradually take the country to a "new normality" after controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
