The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has risen to 34, five more than a day earlier, officials said on Sunday, as the government prepared to boost spending to help the fragile economy, SIA reports.
The head of Italy's Civil Protection Agency said the cumulative number of confirmed cases of the virus had jumped to 1,694 from 1,128 on Saturday, virtually all of them coming to light since February 20 in the worst such contagion in Europe.
The news came as a new US government advisory urged Americans not to travel to the two Italian regions hardest hit by the virus. Italian health authorities said the increase is expected since it takes as long as two weeks for containment measures to take effect, and because Italy has a large number of elderly people.
