LONDON - Italy and Spain are preparing for several more weeks under lockdown as volatile coronavirus infection rates prevent Europe's governments from easing curbs on public life.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined Spain and Italy on Thursday in upholding restrictions on people's movement and face-to-face contacts, saying progress in defeating the pandemic is"fragile" and it's too early to relent. Conte is inclined to keep those restrictions fundamentally unchanged, according to three trade union and business representatives who met with him on Thursday.
Infections in Spain rose to more than 150,000 and deaths surpassed 15,000, underscoring the severity of Europe's most extensive outbreak, even as daily figures declined.
