As the coronavirus disease COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc within China and its neighboring countries, the impact of the outbreak elsewhere on the planet has been relatively isolated. Unfortunately for residents and tourists in Italy, the country has quickly become a new hotspot, and this week brings a new rash of confirmed cases.
As NPR reports, the latest estimates out of Italy suggest as many as 229 confirmed infections. That makes Italy one of the hardest-hit countries, and at the latest count, the death toll sits at six, with 27 of the infected patients in intensive care.
