ROME: Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy rose by 636 on Monday , more than 100 higher than the previous daily tally of 525, the Civil Protection Agency said, but the number of new cases fell sharply.AdvertisementThe total number of confirmed cases increased by 3,599 to 132,547, the lowest daily rise since Mar 17, underscoring hopes that the illness might be on the retreat thanks to a nationwide lockdown introduced on Mar 9.

Of those originally infected, 22,837 were declared recovered on Monday against 21,815 a day earlier. There were 3,898 people in intensive care, down 79 on Sunday - a third successive daily decline.Authorities in northern Italy have begun testing health workers for antibodies that may help identify individuals with immunity to the coronavirus as they look for ways to ease the lockdown imposed a month ago to contain the epidemic.

Following an initial phase of testing on 2,000-3,000 health workers, tests are to be extended to staff and residents in nursing homes and workers in contact with the public. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told the nation to be patient in the face of a pandemic, while also urging people to stay at home.
