Army finds bodies in nursing homes

ARMY troops disinfecting nursing homes have found some residents living in squalor among the infectious bodies of people who authorities suspect have died from coronavirus.

Prosecutors have launched a judicial probe.

Defence minister Marhotels garita Robles said the elderly were 'completely left to fend for themselves, or even dead, in their beds'.

She said the discovery included several nursing homes and several bodies, but did not give locations for the nursing homes or say how many bodies were found.

Madrid has adapted two city

as hospitals to help with the overflow of virus patients and plans to take over five others. Madrid's hotel association has offered 40 hotels to help medical workers.

Madrid also set up a field hospital in the Ifema trade fair complex that recently housed the COP25 UN climate conference.
