Real Madrid to set up Santiago Bernabeu as supplies hub amid coronavirus pandemic

The Spanish side are transforming their home ground into a space dedicated to helping in the fight against the deadly virus

Real Madrid have announced their intention to set up the Santiago Bernabeu stadium as a hub for storing medical supplies, and for organisations and businesses to make monetary or material donations in the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Spain has been hit hard by the Covid-19 outbreak, with reports on Thursday putting the number of confirmed cases over 56,000, with fatalities now having breached the 4,000 mark.

As a result of the aggressive spread, Spain extended their countrywide lockdown until at April 12 at the earliest.
