MADRID, March 16 -- The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Spain has risen to 8,744 on Monday, while death toll climbed to 297, the Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare confirmed. Among those confirmed, 4,655 were in the region of Madrid. The ministry added that 3,215 people with COVID-19 are in hospital, while 521 have recovered. Monday marks a change in the way that the Health Ministry takes on COVID-19 information release. From now it will only make one early morning update with data on cases recorded at 9:00 p.m. local time on the previous day. Also on Monday, Jose Luis Abalos, Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, said the State of Alarm that was imposed on the country late on Saturday to halt the spread of the coronavirus is likely to be extended beyond the 15 days it has originally been applied for. Speaking on Spanish national radio station Radio Nacional de Espana (RNE), Abalos indicated that the State of Alarm would almost certainly last longer than originally imposed for. "It is obvious that we will have to extend this situation and we will see what further measures to apply," he noted. Abalos's assumption was supported by Fernando Simon, director of the Health Ministry's Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, in his daily press conference at midday. "This has to last for at least 14 days minimum," said Simon. He also warned that people would find the quarantine harder to live with as it progresses. "Periods of quarantine are complicated, but if we don't keep up, then the measures we have taken will have no effect," he noted. In addition, it has been confirmed on Monday that the elections of the Basque Regional Parliament in north Spain scheduled for April 5 have been suspended due to the virus outbreak. Xinhua
