Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Snchez celebrated the great results of the last few weeks when it comes to coronavirus cases during a news conference on Sunday, but said "we can't relax" and said "the virus is still present in our country.

The prime minister announced that his government will be seeking a further 15-day extension of the state of emergency.

We need 15 more days to end this health emergency in a definite manner," he explained.

Snchez also announced that starting June 8, the government will transfer the responsibility of the de-escalation process to the regional governments in regions in phase three.

The central government will only keep control on mobility once the regions reach phase three.
