ROME, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- The main indicators tied to the coronavirus outbreak in Italy so far in 2021 remained below peaks recorded in late November and early December, as the country's national holiday lockdown drew to a close. But health experts warned it was still too early to know how effective the restrictions put in place for the holidays would prove to be.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, in the 24-hour period ending Monday, Italy saw 10,800 new infections and 348 new deaths. The infection figure is down from 14,243 a day earlier while the death number is up by one.
