The coronavirus death toll curve in Spain has flattened further as the government discussed different strategies to start phasing out one of the world’s strictest lockdowns. The country saw 605 deaths, the lowest daily death toll in 17 days.

Spaniards have been off the streets since mid-March, but a slowdown of the Covid-19 disease’s spread and its death toll has enabled officials to start discussing a gradual easing.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said the formal lockdown will probably continue into May, but some restrictions may be lifted as early as Monday to breathe life into a paralysed economy.
