Italy registered 728,000 new cases in
the July 6-12 period, a rise of 22.4% with respect to the
595,300 recorded the previous week, the GIMBE medical foundation
said in its weekly coronavirus monitoring report on Thursday.
Although a big rise, it is lower than the 55% increase
registered last week with respect to the previous seven days.
However, the number of COVID-linked deaths continued to
accelerate, with 692 registered over the last seven days, 49%
more than the 464 of the previous week.
The report said the number of people in hospital with COVID rose
by 21.5% in the July 6-12 period, while the number of
coronavirus sufferers in intensive care increased by 16.1%.
