After entering Italy, the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread fast. The strict lockdown implemented by the government during the Spring 2020 helped to slow down the outbreak. However, the country had to face four new harsh waves of contagion. As of January 1, 2025, the total number of cases reported by the authorities reached over 26.9 million. The north of the country was mostly hit, and the region with the highest number of cases was Lombardy, which registered almost 4.4 million of them. The north-eastern region of Veneto and the southern region of Campania followed in the list. When adjusting these figures for the population size of each region, however, the picture changed, with the region of Veneto being the area where the virus had the highest relative incidence. Coronavirus in Italy Italy has been among the countries most impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. Moreover, the number of deaths due to coronavirus recorded in Italy is significantly high, making it one of the countries with the highest fatality rates worldwide, especially in the first stages of the pandemic. In particular, a very high mortality rate was recorded among patients aged 80 years or older. Impact on the economy The lockdown imposed during the Spring 2020, and other measures taken in the following months to contain the pandemic, forced many businesses to shut their doors and caused industrial production to slow down significantly. As a result, consumption fell, with the sectors most severely hit being hospitality and tourism, air transport, and automotive. Several predictions about the evolution of the global economy were published at the beginning of the pandemic, based on different scenarios about the development of the pandemic. According to the official results, it appeared that the coronavirus outbreak had caused Italy’s GDP to shrink by approximately nine percent in 2020.

As of January 1, 2025, the number of active coronavirus (COVID-19) infections in Italy was approximately 218,000. Among these, 42 infected individuals were being treated in intensive care units. Another 1,332 individuals infected with the coronavirus were hospitalized with symptoms, while approximately 217,000 thousand were in isolation at home. The total number of coronavirus cases in Italy reached over 26.9 million (including active cases, individuals who recovered, and individuals who died) as of the same date. The region mostly hit by the spread of the virus was Lombardy, which counted almost 4.4 million cases.For a global overview, visit Statista's webpage exclusively dedicated to coronavirus, its development, and its impact.

Context

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19 - WHO

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. This has been spreading rapidly around the world and Italy is one of the most affected country.

On March 8, 2020 - Italy’s prime minister announced a sweeping coronavirus quarantine early Sunday, restricting the movements of about a quarter of the country’s population in a bid to limit contagions at the epicenter of Europe’s outbreak. - TIME

In May 2020, up to six percent of all online news and posts related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and released in Italy were false or not accurate. The percentage was calculated on the average volume of posts and articles published by the Italian media outlets, including posts on social media. The peak in the release of fake news was registered in the early stage of the pandemic at the end of January 2020, with 7.3 percent of the coronavirus-related information.

Sample Queries

Dati Italia COVID-19: Which provinces in Italy have the most confirmed cases? Find which Italian provinces have the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases as of yesterday. SELECT covid19.province_name AS province, covid19.region_name AS region, confirmed_cases FROM bigquery-public-data.covid19_italy.data_by_province covid19 WHERE EXTRACT(date from DATE) = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),INTERVAL 1 day) ORDER BY confirmed_cases desc

Sample Query 2

What percentage of tests performed have resulted in confirmed cases by region? This query determines what percent of tests performed are made up by confirmed cases. SELECT covid19.region_name AS region, total_confirmed_cases, tests_performed, ROUND(total_confirmed_cases/tests_performed*100,2) AS percent_tests_confirmed_cases FROM bigquery-public-data.covid19_italy.data_by_region covid19 WHERE EXTRACT(date from DATE) = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),INTERVAL 1 day) ORDER BY percent_tests_confirmed_cases desc

The data is categorized under High Frequency Database’s Disease Outbreaks – Table WHO.D002: World Health Organization: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019): by Country and Region (Discontinued). Due to some inclusions and exclusions of cases that are not properly reflected in WHO report, which are the result of the retrospective adjustments of national authorities, some current day “To-date” figures will not tally to the sum of previous day “To-date” cases and current day new reported cases. Figures with excluded cases are relatively lower compared to the previous day.

Documentation

PHS is updating the Coronavirus Global Cases dataset weekly, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Cloud Marketplace.

This data comes from the data repository for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Visual Dashboard operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE). This database was created in response to the Coronavirus public health emergency to track reported cases in real-time. The data include the location and number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries for all affected countries, aggregated at the appropriate province or state. It was developed to enable researchers, public health authorities and the general public to track the outbreak as it unfolds. Additional information is available in the blog post.

Identifying changes in the reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time during the course of the COVID-19 outbreak whilst accounting for potential biases due to delays in case reporting both nationally and subnationally in Italy. These results are impacted by changes in testing effort, increases and decreases in testing effort will increase and decrease reproduction number estimates respectively.

This repository includes a Linked Data representation of the covid19-ita dataset provided by the Department of Civil Protection in Italy, following the RDF Data Cube Vocabulary and the KPIOnto ontology. The dataset includes measurements of various indicators related to COVID19 spread at the province, regional, and country levels, on a daily basis from February 24th to November 20th, 2020.
The RDF format allows describing statistical multidimensional data as Linked Data on the Web. As such, each data point is represented as an observation of the relevant measures along two dimensions, namely time and geographical area.

The project is also available on Github.
