Italy sees almost 800 deaths in one day

The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has leapt by 793 to 4,825, officials have said.

The 19.6% increase is by far the largest daily rise in absolute terms since the contagion emerged a month ago.

On Thursday, Italy overtook China as the country to register most deaths from the highly contagious virus.

The total number of cases in Italy rose to 53,578 from a previous 47,021, an increase of 13.9%, the Civil Protection Agency said.

The hardest-hit northern region of Lombardy remains in a critical situation, with 3,095 deaths and 25,515 cases.

Of those originally infected nationwide, 6,072 had fully recovered today compared to 5,129 the day before.
