The Covid curve in Italy remains stable: 2,677 new cases have been identified in the last 24 hours -Therefore about 400 more than yesterday- but they were identified with 99,742 swabs, almost 40 thousand more than the 60,241 of Sunday. The total number of recovered and discharged amounts to 234,099, with an increase of 1,418 in the last 24 hours.

Those arriving in Italy from Great Britain, Holland and Belgium must undergo the mandatory buffer. The measure, as it has been known, should be contained in the new Dpcm that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte must sign tomorrow. To date, the requirement for molecular or antigen testing with swabs is envisaged for those arriving from Croatia, Greece, Malta, Spain, as well as from Paris and seven other regions of France.

WHO, there is hope for a vaccine within a year – “There is hope that by the end of this year we can have a vaccine,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the end of a two-day meeting of the agency’s executive committee. Currently, the BBC notes, there are about 40 vaccines in the clinical trial stage, including one developed by the University of Oxford that is already in an advanced stage of testing. But the WHO director did not specify which vaccine could be available by the end of the year.
