Italy is the world’s most affected country by the death toll from the new Novel Corona virus.

So far, more than 155,000 people have been affected in Italy, while around 14,000 have been killed and 18,000 have been healed.

Spain is the second largest country in terms of casualties, where the number is more than 10 thousand, while the United States is third with close to 6,000 casualties.

But now there are signs that the outbreak in Italy has started to decline since March 8, and the number of new cases has started to decline daily over the past few days.

According to Italy’s Civil Protection Department, the country has finally slowed the rate of virus outbreaks.

Italy was the first country in Europe outside of China where cases of the virus came to light, and now it is the second largest country in the world after the United States, with more than 100,000 people sick.

Since March 9, 6 million Italian people have been imprisoned in their homes, and new data shows that the virus transmission and reduction in cases is encouraging.

However, Italian physicians such as Lorenzo Cassini, director of a medical center in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, say that yes, we have slowed the spread of the virus, we see some hope and light, but the tunnel is much longer.

Is Italy really successful in its war?

Data from multiple sources indicates that Italy is succeeding in slowing the spread of the virus.

According to Nano Cartabileto, president of the Italian health care research firm Gumby Foundation, “With each passing day, the number of cases today is magical compared to the previous day, when that number reaches zero percent, there is no new case.” Will be’.

According to Italy’s national data, the overall case rate increased by only four and a half percent from March 31 to April 1, which is very good, as it was close to 13 percent between March 16 and 17.

Experts already expected that the number of cases would decrease in Italy in late March and early April, leading to a lockdown move a few weeks ago.

According to scientists at the Italian National Institute of Health, it is very important to come to the evidence that what we are doing is having a ripple effect, Lockdown is a very drastic step, especially on a large scale that has social and social implications. ۔

But the experts are not ready to rejoice and they say that we should not be happy with these statistics, as there will be many cases of victims of Cod 19 but they have not yet been tested, the mild symptoms or The number of sick people without symptoms can be very high.

Massimo Galei, head of the epidemiological unit at Sako Hospital in Milan, said there may be an increase in the number of cases that are not diagnosed ‘difficult to predict right now because there is so much to know.’

He said that the new data would provide some relief as it indicates that the pressure on hospitals will be reduced and the number of more serious cases will be reduced.

How much time is needed?

According to the Italian Civil Protection Department, the pace of spread will likely be controlled in another 3 to 4 weeks, as the rate was 26.9 percent during March 6-7, which has dropped significantly over the past week.

How long can security measures last?
The lockdown period has been extended by the Italian government until April 13 and may be extended further.

According to the government, we have no plans to reduce the severity of the lockdown.

Experts point out that a reduction in the rate of new cases does not mean that security measures should be abolished, in fact it will only take a few more weeks and the duration may vary in each region.

Can other countries learn from Italy?

Experts say other countries should learn from both Italy’s mistakes and successes.

From the experience of Italy, countries can learn that they must take immediate measures to prevent the disease and not wait for the outbreak to spread.

The first case was discovered in Italy on February 20, but the virus had already started to spread, and it just didn’t catch on.

According to some circles, even after the virus was discovered, Italian authorities delayed the lockdown because it feared further deteriorating economy.

Experts say Italy’s experience teaches other countries that they can no longer ignore the problem and should learn from Italy’s mistakes.

But experts say the world should also learn what Italy did right.

The main reason for the decrease in the number of new cases is the strict type of lockdown in which all kinds of businesses were closed, unnecessary transport was stopped, which reduced the spread of virus and its volume. Began to shrink.

According to experts, the Italian government initially reacted slowly but then adopted a more aggressive type of policy and Italy was tested more than other European Union countries.

The death toll is high, despite Italy’s flaws and successes, telling the world just how dangerous the virus can be.

Experts say that at the end of February, the world was looking at Italy and saying that this is not possible, of course there are some flaws in Italy’s medical system, but now countries around the world are facing a pandemic situation and now they know that The virus can spread very rapidly and cause a lot of illness and death.
