Italy's coronavirus death toll has soared past the 50,000 threshold after it recorded another 630 fatalities on Monday. Only the United States, Brazil, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom have also surpassed the grim milestone. Italy's seven day average of coronavirus deaths is the second worst in the world at 656 after the United States which has an average of 1,502 fatalities. This compares to a seven day average of 598 deaths per day in France, 469 in Poland, 441 in the United Kingdom and 436 in Russia. However, the number of fatalities still lags behind the tremendous death tolls which rocked Italy at the height of the pandemic - 969 deaths was the worst daily toll on record, on March 27.
