23 March, 17:59According to data released by the government, 5,022 molecular swabs were carried out in the last 24 hours, which tested positive in 981 cases, equal to 19.5%. Nine people died.
Experts think that the so-called British variant of the coronavirus is spreading rapidly and could soon result in the third wave of infections.
The country seems bound to enter the red range within a few weeks, whereas now it is orange, with some timid openings of outdoor spaces for some clubs. Yesterday's meeting of the expert advisory group did not clarify whether the government would be recommended to introduce new restrictions. The next council of ministers should take place in two days. (ANSA).
