We start from the positive note of the healed: 4,693 in the last 24 hours, for an increase of 6.59% in the last 24 hours. “This is the best data since the beginning of the emergency” coronavirus, emphasizes the president of Civil Protection, Angelo Borrelli, at the press conference at 6 pm. A special appointment was on Friday, April 30: “As you can see from the data – Borrelli said – there we are moving towards a new phase in the evolution of the emergency and, therefore, we have decided to stop our press conference here».
The contagion continues slowly (+ 0.9%)
There are 205,463 total cases of contagion, an increase of 1,872 units compared to the previous day (+ 0.9%). Current positives are 101,551, a decrease of 3,106 units in the last 24 hours (-2.9%). The death toll rises to 27,967 in total, 285 more on Wednesday, for a 1 percent increase.

Cts: confirming data, we are going in the right direction
“Today’s data is very comforting, it means we are going in the right direction,” said Gemelli pulmonologist and CTS member Luca Richeldi, stressing that six regions have no deaths and another nine have fewer than ten. “If we look at the past 15 days, he added, we have halved the number of deaths, doubled the number of healed, halved intensive care and significantly reduced the number of hospitalized.”
The curve continues to decrease
The curve continues to decrease both in cases and in the number of symptoms. The president of the Superior Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, said this at the press conference on the epidemiological trend of the coronavirus epidemic. The Rt contagion rate is less than 1 in all regions. The number of red areas has decreased: There are 74 municipalities in seven regions, a sign of the ability to detect outbreaks early and limit them, according to the president of the ISS. “We will continue to adopt the establishment of red zones among the measures to contain the epidemic,” Brusaferro said. However, there are no differences in the trend of the curve between Italian and foreign patients. In individuals of foreign nationality, Brusaferro specified, 6,395 cases were detected, but the cases started with a compensation of 2-3 weeks. 84% of the deceased had more than two or three diseases. The total number of deaths exceeds 25 thousand.
Even in Lombardy, new cases are slowing down.
Lombardy remains the region most affected by the epidemic, but even here the infection slows: 598 new cases, compared to more than 700 on Wednesday. Piedmont (428), Emilia Romagna (259) and Veneto (135) follow. Fifth place in Liguria, with 104 new cases. They are followed by Lazio (71) and Tuscany (60), while all the other regions register less than 50 cases.
