The daily coronavirus death toll in Italy has risen to 636, but the number of new cases and ICU admissions have fallen.
The number of new deaths has risen from the 525 recorded on Sunday, but the rate of active cases and those entering intensive care have dropped in that time.
Another encouraging sign sees more patients having recovered from COVID-19 compared to 24 hours ago.

A total of 22,837 people has recovered (+1,022) and 16,523 have died.
Out of the 93,197 active cases, 60,314 are in self-isolation (+1,994), 28,976 are in hospital with symptoms (+27) and 3,898 are in intensive care (-79).
There have now been 721,732 tests, an increase of 30,271 since yesterday.

The virus has entered its weakened stage. After having peaked through incubation the rate at which it can infect is falling slowly. Much like in China soon death per day will be significantly smaller than new cases and recoveries will continue to increase more. In due time the rest of the world will be like this and the virus shall be no more. We must all have patience and stay indoors until there is no more further threat to humanity and the amazing civilisation we have created. All seems good in the near future.
