The deaths in Italy from the coronavirus in the last 24 hours are 192, the lowest number since March 14 , as reported by the Government on Saturday afternoon, after a correction to the daily report of the Civil Protection that generated controversy .
It is that 474 fatal victims had been reported, and some time later the information was corrected with the argument that there had been added 282 out-of-hospital deaths that had been registered in April.
Thus, the death toll reported this Saturday is the lowest since March 14, and there has been no rebound in deaths , as feared.
According to the bulletin published on the Civil Protection website, Italy already has 28,710 deaths from the pandemic, after registering 474 deaths since Friday.
But the bulletin did not clarify that this high figure - which far exceeds the deaths of the last week - includes 282 registered in April, and that they had not been counted when they occurred outside hospitals, in the Lombardy region, which only the now included in their counts.
The number of total infections since the first autochthonous case was detected on February 21 amounts to 209,328, with 1,900 new cases since Friday, a figure in the line of recent days, according to data from this Saturday of Civil Protection.
Currently positive people are 100,704, which is a reduction of 239 in the last 24 hours, and a total of 79,914 people have already been cured, while those hospitalized and those admitted to intensive care continue to decline.
