ROME, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- For four consecutive days, Italy's daily coronavirus infections have set new highs, increasingly dwarfing the original high set during the darkest period of the country's struggle against the pandemic. But health experts say the severity of the country's outbreak remains less intense than it was seven months ago -- at least for now.
On Wednesday, the highest one-day infection total of 6,554, set on March 21, was surpassed when the country recorded 7,332 infections in a single day. Since then, the number has jumped by an additional 1,471 on Thursday, 1,207 on Friday, and then 915 to end up with Saturday's grim total of 10,925.
