Note: I changed the title to reflect the total number of cases, rather than the increase, because the way Italy is reporting cases (and deducting deaths and `cured') makes it a chore to figure out the true daily increase.
#15,015
Although you won't find it expressly stated in their update, the total number of confirmed cases in Italy sits at 2,036 - not the 1835 mentioned in the 1st paragraph of today's update.
Once a patient is pronounced cured, or dies, they deduct them from the total.In any event, there is their daily (1600 hrs) update. The increase is considerably less than yesterday's, but that may be due to decisions on who to test, more than a indication of a drop in infections.
