Deaths from Covid-19 in Spain have risen to 2,696 with 39,673 total cases, according to Health Ministry data released on Tuesday.

The rise in deaths of 514 (23.6%) and rise in cases of 6,584 (19.9%) over the past 24 hours are the largest numerical increases the country has recorded, but not the largest percentage increases.

Up to Monday, there had been 33,089 total recorded cases in Spain with 2,182 deaths.

Spain has the third largest number of coronavirus deaths of any country in the world, behind Italy and China.

On Monday, the Madrid city government’s funeral service announced they would stop collecting the bodies of those who die from coronavirus as they are “without sufficient protective material,” according to a statement sent to CNN.

Bodies of Covid-19 victims are now being delivered to an ice rink that is being used as a temporary morgue in Madrid.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that he would seek to extend Spain’s state of emergency for another 15 days as the number of Covid-19 deaths soared.
