MADRID - Spain reported fewer coronavirus deaths and new cases on Thursday in Europe's second-most deadly outbreak of the disease.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is asking parliament on Thursday for approval to extend a state of emergency through April 25 as officials struggle to bring the disease under control. The government is hoping a longer lockdown will reduce infection rates and set the scene for a gradual relaxation of restrictions on economic activity.
Thursday's vote comes as the government struggles to control the narrative about its response to the virus. While the main conservative opposition party has said it will back the extension, its leader is among many detractors who have criticised the administration's management of the crisis, saying it was disorganized and slow.
With most of the nation at a standstill, jobless claims rose the most on record in March and Economy Minister Nadia Calvino has said that April will be bad too.
