Italy sees record 10,000 daily Covid-19 cases
Italy reported over 10,000 new cases of coronavirus on Friday, its highest ever daily toll, as the united states braces for the most recent wave of infections sweeping Europe.

At the height of Italy's coronavirus crisis in March, the best 24-hour toll of new infections was 6,557.
A lot more than 150,000 tests were performed within the last day.
