		</div><p>The death toll in mainland China from the coronavirus strain known as Covid-19 has risen by 97 to 2,442, Chinese health authorities have said.</p>
<p>This marked a slight fall on the number of new deaths in the 24 hours to Sunday morning, compared to the previous day.</p>
<p>Officials also announced 648 new infections, representing a spike compared to the downward trend of recent days.</p>
<p>The number of daily new cases also surged in South Korea, while the death toll in Iran climbed to six, the largest outside China.</p>
<p>Italian authorities said the number of people infected with the virus has more than quadrupled due to an emerging cluster of cases in the country’s north.</p>
<p>The deaths of two people from Covid-19 forced the postponement of three Serie A matches, with many of the new cases represented the first infections in Italy acquired through secondary contagion.</p>
<p>The total number of cases in China is 76,510, most of which are in Hubei, the province where Covid-19 originated.</p>
<p>Prior to the spike in daily infections, China’s leadership sounded a cautious note about the country’s progress in halting the spread of the virus, after several days of upbeat messages.</p>
<p>The Politburo, made up of the senior officials of the ruling Communist Party, said the situation in Hubei and its capital Wuhan remains grave.</p>
<p><em>“We should clearly see that the turning point of the development of the epidemic across the country hasn’t arrived yet,”</em> the Politburo said at a meeting led by President Xi Jinping and reported by state broadcaster CCTV.</p>
