A number of Rome hotels including the Marriott have placed themselves at the disposal of the national health service to house coronavirus patients who are in observation and those with symptoms who are unable to quarantine at home, the hotel federation Federalberghi said Tuesday.
The Marriott will be operational Wednesday while another two are already up and running: one on the Laurentina thoroughfare and the other at Ipogeo degli Ottavi, together offering a total of 130 beds, already occupied.
The Civil Protection Department said Tuesday that 77,635 people are currently infected with the coronavirus in Italy, a rise of 2,107 on Monday.
That is higher than the daily rise of 1,648 registered on Monday but lower than Sunday’s increase of 3,815.
The department said 12,428 people have died with the coronavirus in Italy, 837 more than Monday. Monday’s rise was 812.
It said 15,729 people have now recovered from the coronavirus in Italy, 1,109 more than Monday.
