As hospitals across Italy continue to fight to save patients infected with nCoV, the number of deaths in the country has surpassed China, the largest epidemic region in the world.
Meanwhile, Britain recorded a lower number of deaths.
However, after two weeks since the first death from nCoV was confirmed in the UK, the rate of increase in the number of daily deaths has been higher than in Italy, posing the need to prevent the spread of the disease before the system
According to the latest data, the average daily death growth rate in the UK is currently at 50%, close to the level of Spain (49%).
Italy initially recorded an average daily death rate increase of 35%, but it has decreased to 19% over the past week.

Despite imposing a nationwide blockade, the rate of increase in the number of deaths in Italy has not slowed down like China.
China has confirmed more than 80,000 cases of infection, while Italy has more than 41,000, meaning the death rate in each country is different.
Only a few countries have now surpassed the peak of the epidemic, while governments across Europe are witnessing a rapid increase in infections and deaths.
In South Korea, the number of infections peaked about a week ago with nearly 7,500 cases.
However, across Europe, the number of infections is increasing.

Quarantine efforts in Italy appear to be working.
Covid-19 has appeared in 179 countries and territories after originating in Wuhan, capital of China’s Hubei province in December 2019.
