It reduces the number of hospitalizations, in particular, “intensive therapies amounted to around 10.4% in occupancy rates compared to 13.4 in the previous week with values that go from 1,322 hospitalized patients to 1,037 hospitalized patients yesterday, for the medical area the trend is similar, passing from 26.5% also in this case the number of hospitalized goes from 17,354 to 14,562. Trend down even in the younger age groups “. So the president of the Higher Institute of Health. Silvio Brusaferro, illustrating the weekly monitoring of the ISS. “The 4-week projections – he explains – indicate that the probabilities of occupying intensive laboratories above certain thresholds tend to drop significantly and in the medical area the projections are of limited employment. The picture comes confirmed also with respect to the possibility of reinfection. We know – Brusaferro notes – that the Omicron variant can also reinfect those who have had previous contact with other variants of the virus ”.
As regards anti-Covid vaccinations, adds Brusaferro, Italy is characterized by “a picture of high vaccination coverage in the most advanced age groups”. In these cases, even the booster “has been completed by over 85% of the population”. The number of children who are vaccinating is also growing “over 36% in the 5-11 age group and almost 76% in the 12-19 age group”. Brusaferro, however, warns and specifies: “The share of Italians who have not yet started the vaccination cycle is still important and, in the event of infection, these people are those most at risk of developing a severe disease”.
