Some 229 people have been
infected with the coronavirus in Italy including six deaths,
commissioner Angelo Borrelli told a press conference Monday.
He said there are no other hotbeds for the outbreaks than the
ones in Lombardy and Veneto, and there was no confirmation of
links between them.
"I hope it does not become a pandemic," Borrelli added.
The civil protection department confirmed the official toll
of six victims.
Five have been in Lombardy and one in Veneto, 77-year-old
Adriano Trevisan at Vo' Eugeneo.
