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, in the following months the country had to face four new harsh waves of contagion. As of January 1, 2025, 198,638 deaths caused by COVID-19 were reported by the authorities, of which approximately 48.7 thousand in the region of Lombardy, 20.1 thousand in the region of Emilia-Romagna, and roughly 17.6 thousand in Veneto, the regions mostly hit.

Current situation within Italy, number of latest cases per Italy, provided by the official raw archive, source data from DPC.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently a global public health threat. Outside of China, Italy is one of the countries suffering the most with the COVID-19 epidemic. It is important to predict the epidemic trend of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy to help develop public health strategies.Methods: We used time-series data of COVID-19 from Jan 22 2020 to Apr 02 2020. An infectious disease dynamic extended susceptible-infected-removed (eSIR) model, which covers the effects of different intervention measures in dissimilar periods, was applied to estimate the epidemic trend in Italy. The basic reproductive number was estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and presented using the resulting posterior mean and 95% credible interval (CI). Hunan, with a similar total population number to Italy, was used as a comparative item.Results: In the eSIR model, we estimated that the mean of basic reproductive number for COVID-19 was 4.34 (95% CI, 3.04–6.00) in Italy and 3.16 (95% CI, 1.73–5.25) in Hunan. There would be a total of 182 051 infected cases (95%CI:116 114–274 378) under the current country blockade and the endpoint would be Aug 05 in Italy.Conclusion: Italy's current strict measures can efficaciously prevent the further spread of COVID-19 and should be maintained. Necessary strict public health measures should be implemented as soon as possible in other European countries with a high number of COVID-19 cases. The most effective strategy needs to be confirmed in further studies.

Italy MH: COVID-2019: Number of Cases: To-Date: Hospitalized Patients (HP) data was reported at 1,315.000 Person in 08 Jan 2025. This records a decrease from the previous number of 1,332.000 Person for 01 Jan 2025. Italy MH: COVID-2019: Number of Cases: To-Date: Hospitalized Patients (HP) data is updated daily, averaging 7,076.000 Person from Mar 2020 (Median) to 08 Jan 2025, with 815 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 34,697.000 Person in 23 Nov 2020 and a record low of 543.000 Person in 08 May 2024. Italy MH: COVID-2019: Number of Cases: To-Date: Hospitalized Patients (HP) data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Ministry of Health. The data is categorized under High Frequency Database’s Disease Outbreaks – Table IT.D001: Ministry of Health: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019).

Over the course of 2020, more than 2.1 million coronavirus cases were reported to the authorities in Italy. This statistic breaks down this figure by region and wave of infections. Italy, in fact, underwent three distinct phases in the fight against COVID-19. The first one started in late February, as the first cases in the country were detected. In this first stage, most of the contagion happened in the Northern regions. The Italian government reacted by implementing a strict lockdown that lasted until May, when the contagion curve started to flatten. Between June and September, the number of new cases was risible. The third phase started in October, when a second wave of infection, much bigger in magnitude than the first, struck the country. This time, as it is possible to see from the graph, also Central and Southern regions were heavily affected.
