Italy passes China's coronavirus death toll, prepares to extend lockdown - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.Italy’s death toll from coronavirus overtook that of China, where the virus first emerged, on Thursday as hospitals said they were being overwhelmed and the government prepared to prolong emergency lock down measures. Why can't ppl use same approach in handling coronavirus as ebola? Set up tents and quarantine every infected person into camps. Isolate infected individuals from communities to stop further new infections. Self quarantine is a joke. I think south africas number might just double that of Italy,fortunately we haven't had any deaths as yet, but I fear that if measures are not changed to emergency lock down ,our health facilities will be overwhelmed so much that the death toll will be more catastrophic South Africa is next estimate millions will die
