"During the course of this afternoon, the Prime Minister's condition worsened and, on the advice of the medical team, he was moved into a critical care unit."
Elsewhere in Europe, Spain now has more confirmed cases than Italy and Germany... but Italy still has the highest death toll of more than 16-thousand.
Germany has surpassed 103-thousand cases, but has a lower death rate than many other countries in Europe. A number of European nations are continuing to impose national lockdowns and non-essential stores remain shut.
As the new COVID-19 epicenter, the United States is approaching 370-thousand confirmed cases, while the death toll has surged past 10-thousand.
