THREAD: 821 infected (NOT "confirmed cases*), 21 deaths (elderly people with preexisting conditions) and 46 recovered. Italy has been aggressively screening thousands of suspected cases, and the official data released consist of POSITIVES. #CoronaVirusUpdates #CoronaVirusitaly
In this context, the definition of "confirmed case" is a case that shows the symptoms of Covid-19 AND has come out positive in a laboratory test (a tampon, usually tested by a local hospital, and then confirmed by ONE unique centralized laboratory--this process takes a few days).
Other countries are signaling only confirmed cases, as per WHO's recommendations. Since the discovery of a cluster in the south of Lombardy, the Italian health services have applied a strict screening of the probable transmission chain. More extensive testing, more positives.
