Throughout Spain, a ten-day official mourning for the victims of the coronavirus begins from Tuesday 26 May, coinciding with the entry of the entire country into phase 1 of the de-escalation. It is the longest mourning period decreed in Spain, to pay tribute to the almost 30,000 deaths from the pandemic. The Prime Minister has also announced that a greater tribute ceremony will be held for the fatalities at the end of the de-escalation.
