Some Italian tourist destinations are unusually empty following fears about coronavirus. AFP/Miguel MEDINAROME: Italy on Thursday urged tourists spooked by the coronavirus not to stay away, but efforts to reassure the world it was managing the outbreak were overshadowed by confusion over case numbers.

Italy has the largest coronavirus outbreak in Europe, with 14 deaths, and the government has stopped all movement in and out of 11 towns in two regions in the north - Lombardy and Veneto - in an effort to stop it spreading. He said Italy had more cases than other European countries because it was performing mass tests - over 11,000 so far, which caught positive cases that did not, however, result in illness.Italy was"reliable and transparent", Di Maio said, adding it was being unfairly penalised by holidaymakers cancelling trips to Milan's Gothic Duomo or the canal city of Venice over fears they might catch the virus.

The ISS is supposed to split cases into clinical and asymptomatic cases, and report the former to the World Health Organisation, which only includes contagious cases in its global tally.
