The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Italy has hit females slightly more than males. In fact, as the chart shows, 53.5 percent of individuals infected with the virus was female, while 46.5 percent was male. However, data suggest that mortality rate was higher for male individuals than it was for female ones.
Since the first case was detected at the end of January 2020 in Italy, coronavirus spread fast and the country went through four harsh waves of contagion. As of May, 2023, the authorities reported over 25.8 million cases in the country. The area mostly hit by the virus was the North, in particular the region of Lombardy.
