Arena in Madrid used as morgue amidst the COVID-19 pandemic

These are unprecedented and scary times… 

It got even more serious on Monday when Spain experienced its darkest day since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, with nearly 500 more dead in 24 hours. 

This forced authorities to transform a skating rink in Madrid into a morgue to store corpses, per TVA Nouvelles. 

The Health minister announced that 462 people had died in just 24 hours pushing the death toll to double in three days, reaching 2,182 dead.

Spain is the second most affected country in Europe by the COVID-19 virus, behind Italy.

We are thinking about that and hoping people understand the importance of staying home and stopping the pandemic.
