Does Italy finally see the end of the health crisis? Friday, April 10, the daily death toll from Covid-19 decreased slightly: it was 570 dead, against 610 the day before. The number of new infections has also dropped from 4,204 on Thursday to 3,951.

These data seem to confirm that the country officially the most bereaved in the world by the coronavirus pandemic has reached a plateau.

The death toll since the start of the pandemic in the Peninsula on February 21 is 18,849, said Civil Protection.

The total number of confirmed cases of contamination reached 147,577, the third largest number after the United States and Spain.

Italy had, on Friday, 3,497 serious cases in intensive care, against 3,605 on Thursday, which represents the seventh consecutive day of decline in this essential indicator for measuring blood pressure in hospitals.
