I’m 18.896
the new cases of Covid in Italy (yesterday there were 40,757, here the bulletin). It goes up like this at least 16.523.859 the number of people who have contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus (including recovered and died) since the outbreak began. THE deaths today I am 124 (yesterday 105), for a total of 163,736 victims from February 2020.
People recovered or discharged they are altogether 15.155.021 e 45.512 those that have become negative in the last 24 hours (yesterday 39,195). The positive current – the subjects who have the virus – turn out to be in everything 1.205.102equal to -26.568 compared to yesterday (+2,291 the day before).
The swabs and the scenario
I total swabs (molecular and antigenic) processed are 122.444, or 165,157 less than yesterday when it was 287,601. The 15.4% positive rate (the approximation of 15.43%); yesterday it was 14.2%.
Every Monday the curve touches the minimum point of its swing due to the effect of a smaller number of swabs (those processed on Sunday). The downward trend. This can be seen from the comparison with last Monday (April 25), when they were registered +24,878 cases with a rate of 17.9%: in fact today there are fewer new infections than that day with a lower percentage (15.4% against 17.9%).
A similar figure of new infected (over 18 thousand) was observed two Mondays ago, on Easter Monday (April 18), but that day the case-to-test ratio was much higher, equal to 17.4%. That is why one can speak of a small improvement.
In the last week the curve has started to descend again. We hope that now with the summer the situation will improve further as we have seen in previous years, explained Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, to the microphones of the broadcast Italy wakes up on Radio Cusano Campus.
Three regions are over 2,000 new infections: Emilia-Romagna (+2,540 cases), Campania (+2,104 cases) and Puglia (+2,085 cases).
The health system
The beds occupied in ordinary Covid wards I am +56 (yesterday -88), for a total of 9,794 hospitalized. The beds occupied in intensive therapy I am +2 (yesterday 0) – this is the balance between people who entered and left in a day – for a total of 368 seriously ill, with 32 entrances to resuscitation (yesterday 30).
On a national level, hospitalizations are stable in every area: in the ordinary wards the hospitalization rate stopped at 15% (it was 29% a year ago) and in intensive care unchanged at 4% (it was 28% a year ago).
