Italy was hit hard in early 2020 by the epidemic that killed 125,153 people there, the largest number of deaths in Europe so far after the United Kingdom (128,000 deaths) and ahead of France (108,000). Italy has been cautiously dismantling the ban since April 26 after months of health restrictions, as bars and restaurants are now able to serve their customers outdoors. The downtrend is being confirmed day by day. Health officials on Saturday reported 125 deaths in the past 24 hours, three times less than last month. The positivity rate of nearly 300,000 tests taken simultaneously fell to 1.6%, its lowest level in 2021.
