Italy PM extends lockdown to May

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has extended Italy’s nationwide lockdown until 3 May.

The first nationwide lockdown was imposed on 9 March until 3 April but was later extended to 13 April.

The tight lockdown in Italy appears to be working. Its latest 24-hour death toll is 570, continuing a declining trend.

But Italy still has the world’s highest overall death toll, which currently stands at 18,849.
