Italy’s coronavirus deaths rise by 433, the lowest daily toll in a week

Italy’s coronavirus deaths rose on Sunday by 433, the lowest daily toll in a week, according to the Civil Protection Agency.
Sunday’s number of deaths marked the lowest daily rise since April 12, when it came in at 431, before rising again during the week.

Italy, one of the world’s hardest hit countries, reported 3,047 new infections on Sunday, down from 3,491 the day before.
The death tally had risen by 482 on Saturday, down from 575 a day earlier.
The daily tallies of deaths and cases indicate Italy’s broadly stable situation in place over the past two weeks.
This plateau is down considerably from peaks reported around the end of March. However, the downtrend has not proceeded as fast as was hoped in a country that imposed lockdown almost six weeks ago.
