These statistics do not include deaths outside the hospital, such as those recorded in nursing homes, and some may not be included in the daily balance sheet because the registration of deaths may take longer, says the Ministry of Health.
The new coronavirus, responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic, has already infected more than 1.2 million people worldwide, of whom more than 70,000 died.
Of the cases of infection, more than 240 thousand are considered cured.
After appearing in China in December, the outbreak spread worldwide, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic situation.
The European continent, with more than 676,000 infected and more than 50,000 dead, is the one with the highest number of cases, and Italy is the country in the world with the most fatalities, 15,887 deaths in 128,948 confirmed cases to date.
