Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez on March 13 revealed the government of the country planned to declare a two-week state of emergency to control the spread of the virus in Spain. The situation is so bad in Madrid that the regional government had to turn an ice rink to a temporary morgue to alleviate the stress of the municipal funeral service.
