Intensive care numbers finally moved in the right direction with todays numbers, although it will have to continue that trend on a more sustained basis before I get too carried away. Here is some data, its only a subset of the total available but there were too many regions and figures for me to track them all over time.
Italy's Lombardy residents required to wear masks
Residents in the northern Italian region of Lombardy will now be required to wear protective masks or cover their faces when they go outside.
The new measure comes into effect on Sunday and will last until 13 April.
The ordinance from the region's President Attilio Fontana follows similar guidelines in other northern regions, Veneto and Alto Adige, where residents must wear masks when shopping in stores and at markets.
The whole of Italy is in lockdown, but Lombardy - the epicentre of the virus in Europe - has passed particularly tight restrictions on movement and business.
