Coronavirus Deaths In Italy Drop, But Social Restrictions To Remain High

In Italy on Sunday, the number of deaths from coronavirus in Italy fell for the second consecutive day.

However, Reuters reports the country is still almost certain to see an extension of stringent containment measures.

The Civil Protection department said 756 people had died in the last day, bringing the total to 10,779.

That number is more than a third of all deaths from the virus worldwide.

Health Minister Roberto Speranza asked Italians not to let the guard down.

We would erase all the efforts made so far to rein in contagion.

The sacrifices of the last weeks are serious.
