The new tracking published by the Gimbe Foundation on Covid data in Italy refers to the week of November 4-10 and once again records an increase in trend compared to the last week monitored. The rise in new infections goes beyond that 235 thousand cases. A growth that, however, as the Gimbe report explains, represents a “slight slowdown in the percentage increase in cases”.

The increase in hospitalizations is 35.6%, equal to 7,519 new people hospitalized from 4 to 10 November.
