Increase in new virus cases drops in Italy for second straight day
[IsraelTimes] Italy’s day-to-day increases of new cases of COVID-19 drop considerably compared to figures from a day earlier. Health authorities have said it will need a few more days to see if a positive trend holds, including in northern Lombardy region, which is the nation’s worst stricken region.

According to data released today by Italy’s Civil Protection agency, new cases rose from a day earlier by 4,789 cases. That’s nearly 700 fewer new cases that were reported in the day’s previous day-to-day increases. Italy has been anxious to see daily new case loads drop as it health system struggles to keep up with the world’s largest outbreak after China.

Day-to-day increase in deaths also were fewer than the day before: 602 compared to 651 reported by authorities yesterday.

The latest numbers come nearly two weeks into a national lock-down in a desperate bid to contain Europe’s largest outbreak.
