As we mentioned earlier, Italy has reported another big increase in the number of deaths of people with coronavirus - 793 in the last 24 hours.

It's by far the worst single-day total worldwide since the pandemic began. In total 4,825 people have now died across the country.

On average, one coronavirus patient is dying in Italy every two minutes.

More than 53,500 people have been diagnosed with the virus nationally, up more than 6,500 since Friday. And that's despite strict measures in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus.
