Italy says virus daily death toll under 100
ROME, May 19, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The daily coronavirus death toll in Italy dropped to 99 on Monday for the first time since early March, the civil protection agency said, as the country largely lifted a lockdown.
It was the lowest toll since March 9 — the day Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced he was shutting down the country.
