Italy: Nearly a million Italians test positive for coronavirus – Many hospital ‘Covid wards’ reopen

According to the data of the Italian Ministry of Health, the inhabitants of the country who are currently positive for the coronavirus amount to 929,000. In recent days, their number shows a continuous upward trend. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 18,610,011 people have been infected with the virus in the country, and 168,425 have died.

“We advise citizens to always use a mask in crowded places. In the fall we believe we will have an updated vaccine that will be effective against all variants of the coronavirus,” said Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza.

In the meantime, in many areas of Italy (from Tuscany to Rome and the greater Bologna area), due to the increase in cases, hospital wards have begun to reopen, for the exclusive admission of patients with Covid-19. Today in Italy the cases of coronavirus are 86,334, with 72 deaths. 27.3% of the diagnostic tests carried out in the last twenty-four hours came back positive.
