Italy Positive Signs as Europe Tightens up

Updated: March 25, 2020

Italy, the country most affected by the novel coronavirus in Europe, has recorded a smaller day-on-day increase in new infections for the second straight day on Monday, though officials cautioned it still too early to know if the worst is behind the country.

意大利是欧洲受新型冠状病毒影响最严重的国家，周一该国新感染病例的同比增幅连续第二天出现小幅下降，但官员们警告称，目前还不清楚该国是否已经度过了最糟糕的时期。

Figures from Italy's Civil Protection agency showed 4,789 new cases from a day earlier, nearly 700 fewer than the day-on-day increase of 5,560 new cases reported on Sunday.

来自意大利民防局的数据显示，与前一天相比，新发病例数为4789例，比周日报告的5560例新增病例数少了近700例。
