ROME - Italy banned domestic travel and shut down a range of industries on Monday in a last-ditch push against the spread of a coronavirus that has killed nearly 5,500 people in a month.

There were 651 fatalities on Sunday compared with Saturday's record 793 deaths, while the number of new reported infections fell to 5,560 from 6,557."We have not reached the most acute phase of the infection and the numbers will continue to grow," he said.Conte's latest order comes after he caused confusion on Saturday by ordering all"non-essential" factories and trades to shut until April 3.

Italians frustrated with the ever-changing regulations began to parody officials on social media who had released video messages threatening to jail joggers and fine people walking their dogs too far from their house.
