Italy Coronavirus Map and Case Count

Daily data at the regional and provincial level is provided by the Italian Department of Civil Protection in Italian and English. The data includes the number of confirmed cases, deaths, recoveries, hospitalized patients and the number of people in intensive care. The data on the number of “swabs” undertaken each day reflects the number of tests performed, and the Civil Protection has recently started providing the number of people tested as well.

The head of Italy’s Civil Protection agency estimated that the number of cases could be as much as ten times higher than the current figure. A study by Italy’s national statistics agency strongly suggests that many more Italians may have died from the coronavirus than the official numbers indicate.

About the data
Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible.
