(ANSA) - Rome, March 30 - Italy registered 812 coronavirus
deaths on Monday but the data presented by the civil protection

Sunday's rise had been more than double that, 3,815.
Up to now 11,591 people have died with the coronavirus in
Italy, up 812, compared to Sunday's daily rise of 756.
Civil Protection chief and Coronavirus Emergency Commissioner
Angelo Borrelli said Monday "today we register 1,590 recovered,
the highest (daily) figure since the start of the coronavirus
emergency".
He said the total who had been cured was now up to 14,620.
Italy on Monday passed the 100,000 mark for the total number
of people to have been infected with the coronavirus.
Including the deceased and those who have recovered, the
number is now 101,739, 40 days after the discovery of 'patient
