Contaminations are down, and the ebb is confirmed: with 80,571 positive cases recorded in 24 hours, the average for the last seven days is just over 80,000 daily contaminations (underestimated because of Easter Monday holiday), while it stagnated above 130,000 in early April.
A week ago, 111,583 cases had been recorded, or -28% in one week.
