Italy is Europe’s epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, with more than 97,600 cases of COVID-19, including 10,779 deaths, according to the latest figures released Sunday by the Italian ministry.
However, the outbreak in Italy has shown signs of slowing, with the lowest daily rise in infections since officials began tracking cases after the country’s first reported death on February 21, authorities confirmed on Sunday.
The virus, which was first detected in the city of Wuhan in China’s Hubei province, has spread to more than 741,000 people, 82,200 of whom are in China. Over 143,500 cases are in the U.S., which now has more confirmed cases than any other country, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University.
