Italy’s coronavirus death toll passes 10,000 as almost 900 more die in a day

Lombardy, which has borne the worst of the coronavirus contagion, recorded 542 new deaths on Saturday as the national government was said to be mulling plans to extend a country-wide lockdown to mid-April.

Italy, the first Western country to introduce draconian restriction measures after uncovering the outbreak five weeks ago, has since increasingly tightened them.According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, the government is considering extending the lockdown of the whole country by two weeks to April 18 while loosening some curbs on industrial activity.

Italy’s minister for southern regions expressed concerns about potential social tensions and civil unrest in poorer areas if, as expected, the epidemic moves south.Minister Giuseppe Provenzano told La Repubblica newspaper: ‘I am afraid that the worries that are affecting large sections of the population over health, income and the future, with the continuation of the crisis, will turn into anger and hatred.

The big mistake in the US & Europe is that people aren’t wearing masks,this virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth.

China’s definitely lying about their death toll then! 900 die in 1 day🤯 This is crazy yo! 🙈🤯

💔💔💔

Unbelievably sad, I really hope this turns very soon. Beyond devastating x

This is so sad 😞
