This is not really true.
Bergamo had a 58% infection rate as of last month: https://bergamo.corriere.it/notizie/cronaca/20_maggio_22/ber...
Several prisons have seen infection rates in the 70-80% range: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...
The USS Theodore Roosevelt had an infection rate of 60%: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6923e4.htm?s_cid=mm...
A better explanation for the leveling off is simply that social distancing and lockdowns have reduced the spread of the virus.
