Italy now looks certain to extend its economically debilitating business closures and the ban on public gatherings past their 3 April deadline.

The coronavirus toll in Italy shot past 10,000 on Saturday and showed little sign of slowing despite a 16-day lockdown.

"Is it time to reopen the country? I think we have to think about it really carefully," civil protection service chief Angelo Borrelli told reporters. "If one is being reasonable, one cannot envision a quick return to normal life," Conte said in his latest sombre television address.The monumental economic toll of fighting the pandemic has triggered a huge row among European leaders about how best to respond.

"If Europe does not rise to this unprecedented challenge, the whole European structure loses its raison d'etre to the people," Conte told Saturday's edition of the Il Sole 24 Ore financial newspaper.The entire eurozone is expected to slip into a recession over the coming months.
