Italian civil defence department: confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia rose to 400, 3 of them recovered
In the evening of the 26th local time, Borelli, the head of the Italian Civil Defense Department, stated in the routine epidemic notification that as of 18:00 (Beijing time on the 27th, Beijing time), the country's confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia rose to 400 cases, of which 3 people recovered. The two newly recovered patients are two tourists from Wuhan, China. The couple is also the earliest confirmed case in Italy. Borrell pointed out that because most of them are mild patients, more than half of those who test positive for new coronavirus do not need hospital care.
The notification did not update death data, and the official statistics earlier in the day were 12 cases. (Main reporter Li Yaoyang)
