Italy
Italy recorded 17,012 new coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, a lower number than the day before, when the government advises citizens not to travel abroad.
More than 21,000 positive cases were counted on Sunday, with today’s numbers responding to the predictable reduction on Monday, when fewer diagnostic tests are done.
According to the Italian Ministry of Health, 141 people have died of covid-19 in the past 24 hours, increasing the death toll since the start of the pandemic to 37,479.
In total, 542,789 people have been infected since the start of the health crisis in Italy, with 236,000 active cases, most of them in home isolation, with mild or no symptoms.
The pressure on hospitals continues to increase, with a further 1,607 hospitalizations in the last 24 hours, bringing the number of patients admitted to 14,281, of which 1,284 in intensive care (76 more than on Sunday).
Today, new restrictive measures came into effect to combat the pandemic, namely the closure of bars, restaurants and other catering establishments at 6pm, until November 24th.
The Government also advises citizens not to go abroad, “except for strictly necessary reasons”, given the increase in cases of the new coronavirus in Europe, warning of the possibility of tightening the restrictive measures.
Spain
The Spanish Ministry of Health reported on Monday that the country added 52,188 new cases of new coronavirus infection to the total accumulated cases, now reaching a total of 1,098,320. This value corresponds to the weekend, since there is no data update on Saturday and Sunday.
The total death toll added 279 deaths, bringing the cumulative total to 35,031.
As detailed in director from the Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simon, quoted by El País, the incidence rate is now 410 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Spain has been in a state of emergency since last Sunday, which will remain in effect for six months, until April of 2021.

The disease is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China.
After Europe took over from China as the center of the pandemic in February, the American continent is now the one with the most confirmed cases and the highest number of deaths.
