SOT, Fernando Fernandez, health worker (Spanish): "Last weekend I saw a lot less people, a lot less, but today I can tell you that there are a little more people. Maybe last week there were 15 or 20, maybe today there are 30 or 40, but the field hospital is not being used so far, and God forbid it should be used".

SOT, Emilia Elvira, health worker (Spanish): "Man, patients have been de-intubated, discharged, but to another area of the hospital, and well, a little better. But we can't neglect much either".

SOT, Maria Fuentes, health staff (Spanish): "I don't really trust what I see in the place where I am. My area is totally full of coronavirus patients. They are indeed discharged to other places like IFEMA but we always have patients waiting. Always."

SOT, Maria Angeles Garcia, health worker (Spanish): "I think that as a citizen, which is all of us, I think we are going to be a bit bruised but I think we are all going to get over it. Because when you overcome problems you have to do it with everyone. It doesn't matter if you are a lawyer, a politician, a doctor or a cleaner. We're all here to get out whatever it takes to move forward and for everyone."

Spanish authorities announced 4,273 new cases of coronavirus and 637 deaths over the past 24 hours on Monday, signalling the lowest number of daily deaths in almost two weeks, and continuing a four-day downward trend in fatalities.
Footage recorded in Madrid on Monday shows the facilities of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Maranon and the field hospital that was set up on the site to deal with the huge influx of critical patients during the outbreak.
Some members of the hospital's medical staff shared their views on the evolving situation. "I think we're all going to get through this," said Maria Angeles Garcia, adding "it doesn't matter if it's a lawyer, a politician, a doctor or a cleaner".
Others, like Maria Fuentes, were more cautious. "I don't really trust what I see," she said outside the medical center. "We always have sick people waiting, always," she added.
The Spanish government declared a state of emergency on March 14, with President Sanchez announcing on April 4 that the measures will be extended until at least April 26. As of Monday, more than 135,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Spain, with 13,169 deaths.
