As the Associated Press reported, on March 3, Spain recorded its first COVID-19 deaths. The next day would be the last without any deaths from the virus until June 1. That's despite the fact that the country reached its peak in deaths over a 24-hour period on April 2, almost two months earlier, when it reported 950 deaths.
The nation of 47 million has so far recorded a total of 240,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and more than 27,000 known deaths from the disease.
