The ministry said 125 people had died from the virus over the past seven days. The seven-day death toll reported on Thursday was 122.
Deaths from the virus have risen since Spain lifted a three-month lockdown in late June, but they remain far below the levels seen during the epidemic's late-March peak when the daily toll approached 1,000
While infections have slowed since Friday's post-lockdown record of 7,609, this drop may not represent a trend as similar declines have been followed by new peaks in recent weeks. The latest figures could be modified in future as the official statistics are updated retroactively.
