Italy, the hardest-hit country in Europe, has begun to eye the next phase of its battle against the novel coronavirus pandemic, now that the number of daily new cases and deaths has begun to level off. Their government will reportedly propose a five-point plan to slowly re-open the locked-down country. Social distancing policies will also likely remain in place as Italy aims to massively increase testing. Coronavirus-focused hospitals and an app to track cases and provide remote access to medical care have been discussed as well.

Meanwhile, Spain reported 674 deaths in the previous 24 hours Sunday, the third consecutive day in which the daily rate dropped. Additionally, it the lowest number of daily fatalities in 10 days. Germany saw its third straight day in which the number of new infections declined, though the number of deaths increased.
