Coronavirus Cases Appear to Level Off in Parts of Europe, But Death Tolls Remain High
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Europe, Spain has surpassed Italy in COVID-19 cases with over 135,000
people infected. Italy has already lost nearly 16,000 people and Spain
over 13,000. In France, the death toll has topped 8,000. But the death
rate in all three countries, as well as in Germany, has begun to slow
down. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has urged the EU to provide
more robust financial support in the fight "against an invisible enemy
that is putting the future of the European project to the test."
