The number of new infected also falls for the second day in a row. A total of 6,078 corona-infected persons have died in Italy.

4,828 people working in medical care in Italy are confirmed to be infected by the corona virus, according to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. According to the magazine, these are "infuriating numbers" - and twice as many as in China.

According to the Italian Medical Association, a total of 24 corona-infected doctors have died in the country.

The country was isolated

On March 7, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced that large parts of northern Italy - including the Lombardi area, which is the hardest hit - are being quarantined. This is in an attempt to limit the spread of the corona virus. A few days later, the decision was made to isolate the entire country. At that time the number of dead was up in 463 people.

Violated the curfew

Last week, information came out that thousands of people were breaking the curfew - and that cure for infection began to emerge in southern Italy as well.

"There are 90 percent who are responsible, 10 percent have not understood at all," said Vincenzo De Luca, president of the Campania region.

Yesterday it became clear that Italian factories and companies, which do not have a community-supporting function, are closed down.

A few days ago, Italy passed China in the number of registered deaths due to the corona virus.
