It is one of the darkest and most dramatic moments in recent Spanish history. In the chilling table of daily dead from the coronavirus pandemic, Spain has taken top position from Italy - with 738 dying over 24 hours. While Spain registered a total close to 58,000 coronavirus positive cases, the death toll stands at 4,365.
What went wrong? Spain had seen what happened in China and Iran. It also has Italy nearby, just 400 miles across the Mediterranean and an example of how the virus can spread rapidly and viciously inside Europe.
Meanwhile, another shocking news coming out that, the majority of rapid test coronavirus test kits supplied by China to Spain and the Czech Republic are faulty. Spain bought 640,000 defective coronavirus testing kits from China that can’t even tell whether a patient is sick.
The Spanish government purchased the kits from the firm Shenzhen Bioeasy Biotechnology for mass testing to discover the true extent of the country's Covid-19 infection rate.
