Over the past 24 hours, 627 people in Italy have died of the virus. 380 of those deaths have come in the northern region of Lombardy, where doctors have been pleading for international assistance.
The number of doctors in Italy who have lost their lives due to the coronavirus rose to 14 overnight, according to the National Federation of Medical Officers. So far at least 3,559 health workers have been infected with the virus, which accounts for roughly 8.3% of the total positive infections in the country.
"I would say that we are at the end of our strength,” Dr. Romano Paolucci, who's at Oglio Po Hospital in Cremona, told Reuters. “This is a small hospital and we are taking in a lot of people, I would say the capacity is finished. We do not have sufficient resources and especially staff because apart from everything else now the staff are beginning to get sick."
