The usually very busy Piazza Navona in Rome has been deserted by tourists and most locals. Italy has decided to close all stores except for pharmacies and food shops in a desperate bid to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus that has killed 827 in the the country in just over two weeks. IMAGES
Images from a deserted Piazza di Spagna as Italy's death toll tops 10,000 despite a 16-day lockdown. Its toll from the past three days alone reached 2,520 -- higher than the total number of deaths in the United States and France. Italy now looks certain to extend its economically debilitating -- and emotionally stressful -- ban on public gatherings and business closures past the April 3 deadline. IMAGES
