On Monday, March 30,
Italy's Civil Protection Agency reported 812 coronavirus deaths, a slight
increase from Sunday's 756. The number of new infections dropped, with 4,050
cases on Monday, a decline from Sunday's 5,217 and Saturday's 5,974. Italy has
101,739 coronavirus cases in total and a total of 11,591 deaths.
In total, 14,620 people
have recovered, including 1,590 in the past 24 hours - the highest number of
recoveries in a day since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis. There are
currently 75,528 active coronavirus cases.
According to Deputy Health Minister
Pierpaolo Sileri, Italy is on course to start seeing "a drop in the
number of people infected within seven to ten days".
"The number of people
testing positive is falling, despite the fact that we are continuing to carry
out the same number of tests, and the number of people who need to be placed in
intensive care is no longer as markedly high as it was at the beginning of last
week," said Franco Locatelli, president of Italy's top health advisory
body, the Higher Health Council (CSS).
More than 31,000 people are
currently hospitalized, including approximately 4,000 people in intensive care.
