CORONAVIRUS | Strict lockdown measures starting to show results, say officials.
Italy reported its lowest daily rise in Covid-19 deaths for nearly two weeks yesterday and said the number of patients in intensive care had fallen for the first time.
The total number of confirmed cases rose to 124,632 from 119,827 reported on Friday but for the first time, the number of patients in badly stretched intensive care units fell, with 3,994 patients being treated, down 74 from 4,068 on Friday. But with Easter approaching and video footage circulating on social media of groups walking outside in cities including Naples, Rome and Milan, there were fears that the signs of progress were leading more people to flout the rules.
