Italy's flu epidemic has peaked
at over 4.7 million cases so far, the Higher Health Institute's
Influnet service said Thursday.
The number of cases was now gradually declining, Influnet
said.
In the third week of the year there were 794,000 new cases
for a total, since the epidemic started being watched, of
4,728,000 Italians who were confined to their beds by the
epidemic.
The incidence is still at a 'high intensity' level of 13.1
per 1,000 but lower than the previous week, when it was 14.5,
Influnet said.
