Italy's COVID-19 toll poised to cross China

The Chinese city where the corona virus first took hold reported no new homegrown cases on Thursday, while the toll in Italy was poised to overtake that of China in a dramatic illustration of how the outbreak has pivoted toward Europe and the United States.

The worldwide toll crept toward 10,000 as the total number of infections topped 2,20,000, including nearly 85,000 people who had recovered.

Italy, a country of 60 million, registered 2,978 deaths on Wednesday after another 475 people died. Given that Italy has been averaging more than 350 deaths a day since 15 March, it’s likely to overtake China’s 3,249 dead — in a country of 1.4 billion — when Thursday’s figures are released at day’s end.
