New COVID-19 cases rose by 32.1% in
Italy in the June 8-14 period compared to the previous week and
coronavirus deaths rose by 6.1%, halting the recent positive
trend regarding the pandemic here, the GIMBE medical foundation
said Thursday in its weekly monitoring report on COVID-19.
But there was also good news.
The number of COVID patients in intensive care dropped by 16.4%
and admissions to ordinary hospital wards were down by 3.3%.
GIMBE said the rise in contagion regarded almost all of Italy's
regions and was probably driven by the Omicron BA.5 sub-variant.
