ROME — The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has grown by 602 to 6,078, the head of the Civil Protection Agency said on Monday, an 11% increase but the smallest rise in numerical terms since Thursday, suggesting a clear downward trend.

On Sunday, 651 people died. That followed 793 on Saturday and 627 on Friday.

The total number of confirmed cases in Italy rose to 63,927 on Monday from a previous 59,138, an increase of 8%, the Civil Protection Agency said — the lowest rise in percentage terms since the contagion came to light on Feb. 21.

Now we enter the long dragged out lingering death phase for those that didn’t succumb quickly but will still die. :(

Hard to believe, but 602 dead is a GOOD DAY for Italy. Another day of lowering numbers and I may come to think that they’re starting to turn the corner.
