Some 200,000 coronavirus hospitalisations were averted in March by Italy's lockdown, according to a new study that says the government's containment measures progressively reduced infection capacity by 45%.
The study, about to be published in the journal of the American Academy of Sciences, is by Italian researchers at the Politecnico in Milan, Venice's Ca' Foscari University, the University of Zurich, the Federal Polytechnic in Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Padua.
