• Last minute All the news about the coronavirus

Italy registered 846 deaths from coronavirus in the last day, one of the worst data of the pandemic and almost double that of the previous day, and

confirmed almost 14,000 new infections

, according to the bulletin of the Ministry of Health.

The death data, much higher than the 491 reported on Monday and especially important in Veneto, with 165 since yesterday, increases the balance to 65,857 fatalities throughout the country since the crisis broke out in mid-February.

The director general of Prevention of the Ministry of Health,

Gianni Rezza

, regretted at a press conference these "dramatic" data on deaths and pointed out that the strong rise compared to yesterday is "probably" due to notification problems in the national system.

In total, 1,870,576 people have been infected since the emergency began in the country, 14,844 notified since yesterday, a figure that continues to demonstrate the contraction of the epidemiological curve.

In fact, the positive rate with respect to the 162,000 tests done on the last day is 9.11%, lower than the 11.6% on Monday.

Less hospital pressure

Of the 667,303 patients with COVID-19, the vast majority are isolated at home, while 30,345 are admitted, 515 fewer than yesterday, and

3,003 require Intensive Care (-92).

Rezza defended the restrictions and confinements imposed in the last month in the worst hit regions, such as Lombardy (north) or Campania (south), which now show an improvement.

Now Veneto is of particular concern, still over 3,000 daily positives

, with a high number of deaths and with its hospitals in a "tough situation", as its governor, Luca Zaia, recognized today.

With this scenario, the Italian Government is already studying more restrictive measures for the most important dates of Christmas, although the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, has ruled out a total confinement like the German one.
