Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has donated the sum of €1 million to the Medical College of Barcelona to help in getting relief materials to take care of people during this turbulent time around the globe.

    No fewer than 378,000 people across the world have been infected with COVID-19 and about 35,000 cases were diagnosed in Spain, CNN can report. 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.
