- Story Text: Health workers in Spain's Leganes paid an emotional tribute on Saturday (April 11) to a nurse who died after contracting coronavirus.
Staff at Severo Ochoa hospital in the Madrid region, bid a tearful farewell and applauded as the family of the 57-year-old nurse, identified only as 'Esteban', waited for his coffin.
"A hero is gone. Esteban, operating room nurse at hospital's ICU. He had 57 years," the hospital said in a tweet on Friday (April 10).
State broadcaster TVE reported that 29 health staff have died in the country because of coronavirus since the outbreak started.
Spain's daily coronavirus death toll fell for the third day in a row on Saturday after 510 fatalities were reported in the past 24 hours, the health ministry said in a statement, marking the smallest overnight increase since March 23.
Total fatalities from the virus rose to 16,353, from 15,843 on Friday, the ministry said, while the number of confirmed cases climbed to 161,852 from 157,022.
