Italy's health authorities said yesterday (18th) local time that the number of new cases of Corona 19 a day was 3,127.
The highest since May 29, especially in the capital, Rome, had the highest number of confirmed cases among major cities in the country, with an additional 447 confirmed yesterday.
In the local area, the view that it is the aftermath of winning the 2020 European Football Championship is dominant.
On the 12th, the day after the Euro 2020 final, there was an 'Open Bus Parade' of the national team returning with the championship cup in the center of Rome, and at that time, thousands of people who ignored quarantine regulations gathered on the streets of Rome and raised concerns.
Experts analyzed that "the crowd that won the Euros helped spread the virus."
In fact, the average age of new confirmed patients is 28 years old, which is quite young.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who pushed for the complete lifting of COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, also went into self-isolation.

British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak was informed of self-quarantine, and the Prime Minister's office did not disclose the confirmed cases they had contacted, but it is presumed that they had contact with Health Minister Sajid Javid, who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Prime Minister Johnson recovered from COVID-19 in April last year, at the beginning of the pandemic.
