In this paper, we have discussed the impact of Coronavirus variants in a phase of 2021-22 along with a previous phase of 2020-21 in Italy. We analyse and compare the Covid-19 scenario in Italy for the period from October 04, 2020 to January 16, 2021 with a period from October 04, 2021 to January 16, 2022. For this study, we have used repeated multi-step differential transform method (RMsDTM). Also, we have predicted the number of active cases for 10 days following the period of study.

virus, pandemic, prediction, Italy, economy.
