The rate of new coronavirus infections seems to be slowing in some places around the globe, suggesting that a first corner has been turned in the fight against the deadly pandemic, Business Insider reports. However, the data is preliminary, and there remain several corners that need to be turned before the fight is over.
The daily rate of new, confirmed COVID-19 cases in Spain and Italy appears to be slowing, according to data from tracking and aggregation site Worldometers. That’s significant, because those two countries — Italy especially — have been two of the hardest-hit countries in the world by the pandemic. A similar trajectory — which is to say, a peak then a decline — is also seen in the United Kingdom, which has not been as severely ravaged by the virus.
In Italy specifically, Professor Luca Richeldi told a government briefing on Sunday that only 50 people that day needed to be taken to the ICU, compared to around 120 on the previous two days.
