Italy Surpasses China's Coronavirus Death Toll; Italy Now Has at Least 3,405 COVID-19 Deaths

Italy today (March 19, 2020) hit a grim milestone, surpassing China for the largest number of coronavirus-related deaths, at 3,405, according to the Washington Post website.

The novel coronavirus continued to spread globally, with Italy announcing a record number of deaths yesterday and Spain reporting a similar alarming death-toll spike today.

New numbers out of Iran are also grim.

But news from China today may offer a glimmer of hope, as the country reported no new locally transmitted cases the previous day for the first time since the outbreak began there late last year.
