Hospitals in Italy near breaking point amid new COVID-19 surge

Italy, which was the first country after China to be overwhelmed by the novel coronavirus, recently surpassed 1 million cases of COVID-19. As a fresh surge of coronavirus cases threatens to overwhelm the nation once again, hospitals are nearing their breaking point. The surge in cases has also led to renewed calls for a lockdown from some sections of the population, in order to control the spread.
