    Italy is also where South Africa’s first confirmed case of the coronavirus travelled to, before returning to KZN.

    Most of the more than 3 000 cases in Italy are in the north, but others have been confirmed in 19 of Italy’s 20 regions.

    The region has the most cases with 305 patients — four of them children. The town of Veneto saw a spike of 28 cases overnight, bringing its total to 71.
