According to a report on Reuters, the death toll from COVID-19 in Italy has leapt by 793 to 4,825 on Saturday. It saw an increase of 19.6%, by far the largest daily rise in absolute terms since the contagion emerged a month ago.

The total number of cases in Italy rose to 53,578 from a previous 47,021, an increase of 13.9%, the Civil Protection Agency said.

Last March 10, Reuters reported that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte placed the whole of Italy under lockdown until next month. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
