In the last 24 hours in Italy 197,552 cases of coronavirus were recorded and 184 people lost their lives.
A total of 1,220,226 diagnostic tests were performed, 16.2% of which were positive.
There are 1,557 patients in the intensive care units of the country, while 14,930 in single beds.
Meanwhile, the number of people over the age of 50 who received the first dose of covid-19 vaccine increased by 300% yesterday, compared to the daily average of the previous week. Overall, the number of people who received the first dose of the vaccine in all age groups increased by 60%.
According to commentators, this is a result of the decision that provides for mandatory vaccination of citizens over the age of fifty, which was taken by the government of Mario Draghi two days ago.
According to the Italian Higher Institute of Health, in the ICU of the country, those who have not been vaccinated with coronavirus during this period are 25 times more than the patients who have received three doses of the anti-covid drug 19.
Physicist Giorgio Cecili, based on a mathematical model, predicted that next week the daily cases in Italy could exceed 400,000.
