BBC World Service - Newshour, Coronavirus: Spain deaths surge

Spanish government extends state of emergency to 12 April

The Spanish government has extended the state of emergency until at least 12 April.

Spain has ordered all non-essential workers to stay at home for two weeks. People's movements are severely restricted and most shops and businesses are now closed. We hear from a policeman patrolling the streets of Barcelona. 

Also on the programme: how India is dealing with a lockdown of 1.3 billion people; and the importance of kindness: we chart the outbreak of altruism worldwide.
