Eleven more doctors die on Monday, bringing the total to 61.
Italy's government on Monday said it would extend its nationwide lockdown measures against a coronavirus outbreak, due to end on Friday, at least until the Easter season in mid-April, as the number of new infections declines.
Italians have been under lockdown for three weeks, with most shops, bars and restaurants shut and people forbidden from leaving their homes for all but non-essential needs. However, the decline in the rise of new infections may be partly explained by a reduction in the number of tests, which were the fewest for six days.
Lombardy, which contains Italy's financial capital Milan, accounts for almost 60% of the total deaths in Italy and some 40% of cases.
