The Spanish Government, via Royal Decree 487/2020, extends the state of alarm for the COVID-19 health crisis until 00:00 on April 26, 2020, following authorization from the Congress of Deputies. This second extension aims to further contain disease transmission, prevent the saturation of intensive care units, and ensure adequate healthcare quality based on epidemiological data showing a flattening of cases.
