ROME (Reuters) - The central Italian region of Lazio, fringing the capital Rome, has asked its large Bangladeshi community to undergo "blanket testing" for the coronavirus following a recent increase in the number of infections.

Lazio has reported some 8,000 cases since Italy's COVID-19 outbreak emerged at the end of February, far fewer than in Lombardy and other northern regions.
