Probably too early for these figures. These are critically ill. Not likely to recover fully in 1-2 weeks. We won't get a clear picture until they have enough cases to give a breakdown of those people who pass away in intensive care and those in other medical settings like nursing homes. 10 fatalities in one day is very sad though. Sometimes I wonder are we all getting fixated on numbers (I know I follow the updates closely from all different countries). Guilty myself of sometimes losing sight of the real human cost.

The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in the northern region of Lombardy, which has borne the brunt of Italy's contagion, has risen by around 542 in a day to some 5,944 ...

I though yesterdays figure for Italy was close to 1000 deaths.
The above figures are for the region of Lombardy only - Italian figures out later.

The number of people who have died after testing positive rose to 1,228,an increase of 209.
Iran's coronavirus death toll has risen to 2,640, a health ministry official said on Sunday, as the Middle East's worst-hit country grapples with the fast-spreading outbreak. "In the past 24 hours we had 123 deaths and 2,901 people have been infected, bringing the total number of infected people to 38,309," Alireza Vahabzadeh, an adviser to the health minister, said in a tweet. "12,391 people infected from the virus have recovered."
Spain
The coronavirus death toll rose by a record 838 cases overnight to 6,528. Second only to Italy in fatalities, Spain also saw infections rise to 78,797 from 72,248 the day before.

Spain:
Another 812 deaths in 24 hours from the coronavirus, a slight decline on the previous day’s toll, bringing the total number of deaths to 7,340.
The country recorded 838 deaths from the pandemic yesterday... The growth in the number of new confirmed cases also slowed, posting a one-day rise of 8% to 85,195, according to the health ministry, compared to a 20% rise on Wednesday.
...
Spain’s healthcare system is struggling to cope with the surge of seriously ill patients all at once, with hotels and conference centres being used as temporary clinics and Madrid’s largest ice ink turned into a provisional morgue.
France:
36 coronavirus patients evavuated from hospitals in the hard-hit Alsace region in the east to hospitals in less affected areas using medically adapted TGVs. Two specially modified trains carried patients from Mulhouse and Nancy to hospitals in western France. The patients are reportedly on ventilators but their conditions show “no complications”. Each train carriage has been turned into an intensive care unit for four patients, and a team of at least six medics and nurses, according to the French health ministry. Around 80 French patients from Alsace have also now been transferred to hospitals in neighbouring Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland...
The Grand-Est region of France has around 3,777 people in hospital with the coronavirus, 786 of whom are in intensive care. There have been 757 deaths due to Covid-19 in the region.
New York:
A US Navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds is making its way into New York Harbour to help relieve the coronavirus crisis gripping the city’s hospitals, according to the Associated Press news agency. The USNS Comfort, which was sent to New York City after 9/11, will be used to treat non-coronavirus patients while hospitals treat people with COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. New York State governor Andrew Cuomo was expected to greet the vessel when it reaches the harbour and docks at a Manhattan cruise ship terminal. In addition to the 1,000 beds, the Comfort has 12 operating rooms that could be up and running within 24 hours.

UK:
An additional 40 previously unreported coronavirus deaths occurred in England and Wales earlier this month, according to new official backdated figures that suggest almost one in four coronavirus deaths are occurring outside hospitals. The Office of National Statistics figures, which are based on death certificates, show there were 210 deaths where Covid-19 was listed as a cause by 20 March, 40 more than the 170 announced by the NHS at that stage. The figure is higher because it includes deaths outside hospitals, including those in homes and care homes, and includes patients who had not tested positive for the virus but were suspected of having the disease. It suggests that almost 24% of coronavirus deaths were previously going unreported in government figures.
Russia:
The number of coronavirus cases in Russia jumped to 2,337 on Tuesday, an increase of 500, as the country recorded its biggest daily rise for the seventh day in a row, Reuters reports. In Russia, 18 people who contracted the coronavirus have died, while 121 people have recovered.
