There have been 125,314 swabs to identify the coronavirus analyzed in Italy in the last 24 hours. According to data provided by the Ministry of Health, 12,069,402 have been carried out since the beginning of the pandemic. A total of 7,296,766 cases were tested.
The Council of Ministers has approved, as part of the Covid decree law, a rule that extends the dpcm with the anti-contagion rules now in force on 15 October. With a novelty: the obligation to wear masks even outdoors becomes effective immediately, if you are close to people who do not live together. A new dpcm will therefore have to be adopted by 15 October to confirm or update the anti-contagion rules that would have expired today and which are instead extended. 'The mask obligation will be in force from tomorrow', announces Prime Minister Conte. Who then warns: 'If the infections increase, the votes in Parliament will be a problem'. Conte also sends a recommendation to the Italians. To keep appropriate behaviors even in the family. The mask and the distance rules also apply to family members who, for example, live on the other side of the city '. Conte then reiterated that 'the protection of health must be in the first place. The obligation to wear a mask raises a higher level of precaution to avoid returning to the lockdown phase '.
