Italy recorded a lower day-to-day increase of coronavirus cases for the second day in a row Monday. Italy’s Civil Protection agency documented 4,789 new cases Monday, 700 less than the 5,560 new cases reported Sunday. Also 997 less new cases were reported on Sunday, representing a big drop after their highest levels ever on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st. 

Although it is still early to confirm any trend and more data must be collected to say it is a favorable situation, it is bringing a glimmer of hope to Italy, one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus.
