Coronavirus: Exponential growth averted say physicists

(ANSA) - Rome, March 19 - An exponential growth in coronavirus cases in Italy has been averted despite Wednesday's dramatic jump of 475 deaths in 24 hours, a group of Italian physicists who have set up a Facebook page analyzing the scientific data on the virus said Thursday.
    However, they said, "the growth is still sustained in Italy and will probably continue to be so, we'll have to wait until the end of the month before seeing an eventual slowdown".
