Rome, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Oct, 2020 ) :Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte tightened nationwide coronavirus restrictions Sunday after the country recorded a record number of new cases, despite opposition from regional heads and street protests over curfews.

Italy, the first European country to be hit hard by the pandemic and impose a nationwide lock down, on Saturday clocked nearly 20,000 new cases in a 24-hour period.
