Italy registered 120,057 new COVID-19
cases in the September 14-20 period, up by 11.3% on the 107,876
of the previous week, the GIMBE medical foundation said in its
weekly coronavirus monitoring report on Thursday.
The foundation said the increase in contagion ended a downward
trend that had lasted four weeks.
It said contagion was up in 15 of Italy's regions.
The report said that the number of COVID intensive-care
admissions fell 8% over the last week, admissions to ordinary
hospital wards were down 9.6% and coronavirus-linked deaths
dropped by 12.8% from 383 to 334.
