epa08241705 Italian National Police officers stand by as they inform residents at the entrance of the small town of Casalpusterlengo, southeast of Milan, 23 February 2020, under the shadow of a new coronavirus outbreak, as Italy took drastic containment steps as worldwide fears over the epidemic spiralled. Two deaths from the novel coronavirus sparked fears throughout northern Italy as about 50,000 people were poised for a weeks-long lockdown imposed by authorities trying to halt a further increase in infections. Italy on 21 February became the first country in Europe to report the death of one of its own nationals from the virus, triggering travel restrictions on about a dozen towns where the number of people contaminated has continued to rise.

The woman was also diagnosed with cancer.

According to the data provided by Borrelli, there are 110 cases in Lombardy (to which the two victims are added) and 21 in Veneto (plus the victim in Vo ‘Euganeo); 9 cases are instead in Emilia Romagna, 6 in Piedmont and 2 in Lazio (the Chinese couple hospitalized in Spallanzani).

Of the 152 positive, Borrelli concluded, 55 are hospitalized with symptoms and 25 in intensive care, 19 are in home care and 27 in verification.
