The repurposing of the 1,800-square-foot rink at Madrid's Palacio de Hielo mall will be coordinated between the regional government and military emergency units, Reuters reported.

The municipal funeral home announced it would stop collecting bodies beginning Tuesday because of a shortage of protective gear.
"Preparations have begun so that the installations ceded by the Ice Palace can receive bodies, and facilitate the work of funeral services in the face of this exceptional situation," the regional government of Madrid said in a statement, according to the France 24 news agency.
