Italy announced on Saturday the highest number of 24-hour deaths since April 21, with 474 dead, according to the official toll of the coronavirus pandemic.
This rebound comes two days before the start of the country's deconfinement process. Nearly 29,000 people (28,710) have now been killed by the coronavirus in the peninsula, the first country to be hit head-on in Europe.
Last month, 282 deaths were not communicated until Saturday by Lombardy, said the northern region, the most affected by the pandemic.
These are people who died outside the hospital environment.
While Italy must begin its gradual deconfinement on Monday, the positive ebb of the pandemic seems to continue since without these 282 deaths hitherto unaccounted for, the number of deaths in 24 hours falls below 200 (192) , which has not happened since March 14.
It is now nearly 29,000 people (28,710) who were killed by the coronavirus in the peninsula, the first country hit hard in Europe, and one of the most bereaved with the United States, the United Kingdom, the Spain and France.
The figures are also positive in terms of cures (1,665), a decrease in hospitalizations, whether in standard services (17,357) or in intensive care (1,539), and a decrease in the number of patients identified (100,704), at their lowest since April 11.
