Italy has confirmed more than 100 new deaths from the coronavirus outbreak today alone, with the official tally now up to 366.
The new figure was released after the Italian government placed 16m people in its affluent northern regions under a virtual lockdown, in an attempt to restrict the spread of the coronavirus, which has now infected over 1,200 people in the country.
The clampdown, which was signed into law overnight by prime minister Giuseppe Conte, mean that people will not be able to enter or leave Lombardy and a number of other provinces.

The cities of Venice, Modena, Parma, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia and Rimini will all be affected by the law, which will remain in place until 3 April.
Speaking to a news conference, Conte said: “There will be no movement in or out of these areas, or within them, unless for proven, work-related reasons, emergencies or health reasons”.
The decree instructs citizens to “absolutely avoid” either entering or leaving the areas listed, and even to avoid moving around other than for emergencies or “essential work reasons” within the designated areas.
The law means that all museums, gyms, cultural centres, ski resorts and swimming pools will be shut in the targeted region as Europe’s worst affected country battles to limit the spread of the disease.
