The day began with the Hantavirus outbreak on the Hondius cruise ship dominating headlines, as two US passengers tested positive and a French woman was in serious condition. By mid-morning, the Health Ministry issued a circular maintaining low risk but urging caution, and two Italians were placed in mandatory quarantine. In the early afternoon, Sinner's dominant win over Popyrin at the Foro Italico (6-2, 6-0) provided a sports interlude. The afternoon saw Electrolux announcing 1,700 job cuts in Italy, and the missing woman and children case deepened with letters suggesting suicide. By evening, the Hondius sailed for the Netherlands, and the Health Minister reiterated no danger in Italy. The Garlasco murder case continued with new audio evidence against Sempio, but received less prominence than the virus.
