  • Coronavirus. Italy records the lowest increase in deaths in a week

The balance of victims provided this Thursday by Civil Protection indicates that the deceased amount to 13,915 -after registering 760 in the last 24 hours, yesterday they were 727. Total infections throughout the country amount to 115,242, that is to say 4,668 more than yesterday. The new infections in 24 hours are 2,477, which brings the current positives to 83,049. And the registered people now total 18,278.

This morning, the president of that region of Lombardy, Attilio Fontana , the one most affected by the disease, said that "there are no greater increases than in the previous days, so it is another positive day, but we must insist." "What our experts have predicted is happening: the descent of the curve will begin in a few days," he added. The regional leader has warned that police controls will be strengthened to ensure that containment measures continue to be complied with, since, otherwise, "there is a risk of reversing all that has been achieved so far."

"According to some scientists, there is a risk that the return of the influenza virus in October and November will also lead to a return of the coronavirus. You have to be prepared," explained the Lombard president. And he underlined the need not to "dismantle" the hospital beds installed at the Milan Fair once the emergency is over: "they are a guarantee for what may happen in the future."

Fontana has harshly criticized the management of the Giuseppe Conte government: "Almost a month and a half has passed since the beginning of the epidemic and we are basically receiving crumbs from Rome . If we weren't working alone, we would have closed the hospitals after two days."

The Executive yesterday extended the total closure of the country at least until April 13. Yesterday, after a great controversy in the country, especially by the northern authorities, the Prime Minister had to clarify that the permission for minors to leave the house "is not for walking", but may accompany their parents only to make the purchase and always close to their homes.
