Some good news, Italy is finally reporting less new daily cases than the day before. Hopefully it's not an outlier, instead finally caught up with testing and running out of new suspected cases. The death toll is also slightly down but that doesn't mean anything yet at this stage.

  • 5560 new cases and 651 new deaths in Italy: 15% decline in new cases and 18% decline in new deaths with respect to yesterday [source]  [source]
    • Among the deaths: a 34-year-old man in Rome with no existing health conditions according to reports [source]
    • "We expect to see the first effects of the stringent lockdown measures adopted on March 11 after 2-3 weeks, so the coming week will be absolutely critical in this sense: we expect to finally see a  sign of trend reversal," said Franco Locatelli, President of the Health Council [source]
