Italy appears to be heading for a new coronavirus wave, with surging infections and hospitalizations in the last week, according to data released Thursday by the Italian Ministry of Health.
On Thursday, the country registered nearly 45,000 new coronavirus cases, down slightly from a day earlier but still well above the average for the last month. According to the health data body Gimbe Foundation, the broad infection rate over the last week was 52 percent above the previous week.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday the daily infection tally of nearly 59,000 was the highest since Aug. 2.
Health officials have cautioned that rates could rise further in the coming weeks, as cooler weather pushes more activities indoors.
