More infections in 24 hours than yesterday: this is the highest figure of 2021, which exceeds the previous peak of +26,824 cases, dated March 12. To see a similar number you have to go back to the end of November 2020. This is enough to understand that the trend of the curve remains uphill.

In recent days, the contagion curve continues to grow and the incidence has risen sharply, to lower levels than the rest of Europe, but there is growth, says the president of the ISS, Silvio Brusaferro, commenting on the monitoring.
