COVID-19 cases dropped 1% while
hospital admissions with the virus fell by 7.9% over the last
week, independent medical foundation GIMBE said in its last
weekly report on the pandemic Monday.
Deaths were down 1.9% and intensive care cases steady.
GIMBE President Nino Cartabellotta said the foundation was
stopping its report after three years "in consideration of the
progressive reduction in viral circulation since December 2022,
the ever lower impact on hospitalizations and deaths, the
substantive halt to the vaccine campaign on boost shots, and the
absence of concerning new variants".
He said he trusted GIMBE had given the country "useful service"
and said it would continue to update pandemic and vaccine data
on its website.
In data on the vaccine roll-out, he said there had been fewer
than 500,000 fifth doses in the last five months.
