Until now, authorities in Israel had steadily tightened a partial lockdown imposed on March 14, shuttering offices, closing schools and ordering people to stay mostly at home. Israel reported at least 160 deaths and nearly 13,300 cases of COVID-19 as of Saturday evening.Spain will relax strict measures that have kept children at home since Mar. 14 so that they can “go out on the streets,” the country's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a televised briefing on Saturday evening.
"We have left behind the most extreme moments," Sanchez said. But he added:"These achievements are still insufficient and above all fragile. We cannot put them at risk with hasty solutions." While Spain's death toll from the virus rose at a slower pace on Saturday, it has surpassed 20,000 fatalities, the Health Ministry said.
