The good news is that the curve continues to flatten, as more people are leaving hospital than going in, a trend that has been developing for over a week now.
For the fourth day in the row, the total number of positive cases fell again, this time by 10 to 107,699.
This is because 2,943 people were given the all-clear since Tuesday, so 54,543 in Italy have contracted the virus and made a full recovery.
There are 23,805 patients hospitalised (-329 in 24 hours), of which 2,384 are in intensive care (-87).
Another 81,510 people are self-isolating at home with minor symptoms (+406).
The indications all point towards an easing of lockdown measures from May 4, including the ability for Serie A teams to train in small groups.
