Coronavirus: significant rise in Italian deaths

BBC World Service - Newshour, Coronavirus: significant rise in Italian deaths

The number of people who have died in Italy rose by 133 on Sunday

The number of people who have died in Italy rose by 133 on Sunday.

366 people have died in Italy as a result of the coronavirus outbreak; the northern Italian region of Lombardy is under an almost unprecedented travel lockdown. 

Also in the programme: we ask how safe it is to go to sports events and large public gatherings amid the Covid-19 outbreak; and on International Women's Day we have a report from Mexico.
