Deaths from the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy have risen by 619, up from 570 the day before, and the number of new cases have climbed to 4,694 from a previous 3,951.
According to a Reuters report, the daily death toll was the highest since April 6 and the rise in infections was the biggest since April 4.
After easing from peaks around the end of March, Italy’s daily death and infection tallies have declined but are not falling steeply, as was hoped by Italians who have been in lockdown for a month.
