Infections and deaths from Covid return to rise in Italy in the last week. This was revealed by the monitoring of the Gimbe foundation for the period 20-26 April, highlighting “an increase in new cases (433.321 against 353.193) in all regions. Infections return to rise (+ 22.7%), and intensive care is slightly decreasing. (-3.1%), ordinary hospitalizations are stable (+ 1.1%). But deaths are over one thousand (+ 20.1%) “. “It would be madness to abolish” from May 1st “the obligation to wear a mask in indoor venues, especially if crowded or poorly ventilated, and on public transport”, underlines Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation.
