The number of people cured is already more than 10,000 more active in Italy, while the number of deaths from the coronavirus epidemic increased two hundred and forty-three in one day to 30,201, the Italian civil protection authority said on Friday night . The mayor of Milan closed the suddenly crowded pedestrian streets of the city.

The daily increase in the number of deaths decreased slightly from 274 a day ago. The number of active infected people fell by 1,663 compared to a decrease of nearly 2,000 a day ago, the MTI cites.

There are currently 87,961 patients. Of these, only fewer than 15,000 need hospital treatment, and the number of people in intensive care units has dropped to 1,168.

The number of people cured is already more than ten thousand higher than the infected asset, which exceeded 99 thousand. Including both the cured and the dead, the number of diagnosed infections reached 217,185.

At the focal point in Lombardy, the daily number of deaths fell to 94 from 134. The number of active infections increased by another 609 from 689 a day ago. In the intensive care units of Lombardy hospitals, four hundred Covid-19 patients are currently being treated, which corresponds to 25 percent of capacity, that is, less than thirty percent considered critical.

Civil protection data shows that in Italy the number of active infections has been cut in half in the last week thanks to precautionary measures. The only exception is Lombardy, where there has been no significant change in the number of patients in the past week.

After the relaunch on May 4, the first easing of the restrictions, Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, the capital of Lombardy, ordered strict controls on the most visited pedestrian streets of the northern Italian city after they were covered by smaller crowds. Massimo Galli, professor of virology at Sacco Hospital in Milan, said Milan is at risk of an “epidemic bomb” if there are too many people on the streets. In Milan, the number of active infections increased by more than 200 in one day from the previous 182.

Priority street and highway controls have also been established in other cities in Italy to restrict the movement of those who leave from Friday afternoon to the weekend. Also in the city of Venice they want to prevent “epidemic tourists” from invading the city from Saturday to Sunday, as happened a week ago.

The autonomous province of northern Italy, Alto Adige, has announced that it will anticipate the national provisions of the Roman government, restart trade from Saturday and plan to reopen hospitality from Monday. Rome called for an immediate closure of the province.
