On Feb 21st this data was reported.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
1st death in Italy: a 77 year old man in Vò Euganeo (Padua). The man had been in the hospital for the past ten days due to other health problems. Schools and shops in the town to be closed in an attempt to prevent the virus from spreading, said Veneto governor Zaia.
2 new cases in Italy: the wife (eight-month pregnant) and friend of the previously confirmed case of a 38-year-old man near Milan, who is now in critical condition in intensive care. In early February, the man had dinner with a friend who had recently returned from China. He went to the emergency room on Feb.15 and again on Feb. 19. The friend is now undergoing tests. About 160 contacts of the man have been put under quarantine. Emergency procedures are being set in place in the firm where the man works.
Later that same day:
12 new cases in Italy. New cases include:
5 health workers and 3 patients in the Codogno Hospital.
the son of a bar owner who practiced sport with the man.
3 clients of the bar.
a couple, aged 78 and 67 years old, in critical condition in the Veneto region (the man has later died).
15 days later the region was quarantined and the hospitals are on the brink of collapse.
We gutted entire hospital wards to make room for the seriously ill. One of the best healthcare in the world, the Lombard one, is one step away from collapse.

As for staff coming and going day-by-day, we’re simply told they’re following infection control protocol. “We’ve learned that the virus is volatile, unpredictable.” Patients have gone from showing no symptoms to being rushed to the hospital in an hour #KOMONews
