The number of deaths in Italy due to the new coronavirus reached 10,779 today, an increase of 756 deaths in the last 24 hours and 5,217 new infections, reported today the Italian Civil Protection.

The total number of people who are infected is 73,880, since they have already recovered from the disease 13,030.

There were 3,851 more contaminations than yesterday, while on Friday the increase had been 3,651.

According to the Spanish news agency Efe, which cites the Civil Protection daily press conference, 643 people have been cured in the past 24 hours.
