Wednesday saw a sharp rise in new
daily COVID cases in Italy, up 15,199 compared to a rise of
10,874 on Tuesday, the health ministry said.
It is the highest rise since a recent upswing started.
There are 127 new deaths in the last 24 hours, compared to 89
Tuesday.
Italy has been seeing record daily case rises recently amid a
second wave.
The government has taken counter-measures and Lombardy and
Campania have imposed a curfew, but there has been, and will not
be, a fresh national lockdown, Premier Giuseppe Conte has vowed.
