Sardinia is also close to criticality with 142 positives per 100 thousand inhabitants
The Sicily, which has doubled the positives in five weeks, is the region most at risk of becoming yellow zone. To be the first to pass in the range that provides for some restrictions (such as the mandatory outdoor mask) already from Monday 16 August. In addition to having abundantly exceeded one of the three parameters on which the classification depends, the weekly incidence of positives per 100 thousand inhabitants (at 104.5) is very close to reaching the second: 15% of beds in the ordinary wards occupied by Covid patients.
Immediately behind him there Sardinia, which has an incidence of 142 positives per hundred thousand inhabitants and 11% of the ICU beds occupied, however it has a little more margin in the other hospital wards, where the occupancy rate is 7%. The numbers of the Calabria not for the incidence of positives (57.1) but for 11% of the beds occupied in the ordinary wards.
the photograph returned from the detection ofNational Agency for Regional Health Services (Agenas) which monitors the three criteria for the transition from the white to the yellow zone: more than 50 new infections per hundred thousand inhabitants, calculated on a weekly basis, 10% of the beds in intensive care and 15% of the beds in the ordinary wards occupied by patients Covid. The progression of the infection has caused the incidence threshold to jump in many regions: the Italian average of almost 69 positives out of one hundred thousand inhabitants, but the value above 100, as well as in Sicily and Sardinia, also in Tuscany, and above 50 in eleven other regions. Tourist destinations are inevitably more exposed to contagion. And hospitalizations rise more in those regions with the lowest percentage of vaccinated, such as Sicily: the federation that brings together health companies has communicated that 90% of those who end up in resuscitation are non-immunized, only 10% are vaccinated. Another condition of greater risk is the lack of beds in the South: hospitalizations increase by 1% in 7 regions, but the 441 ended up in hospital for Covid in the ordinary wards of Lazio occupy 7% of the available beds, while the 448 of Sicily, 14%.
This is why Sicily and Sardinia in particular are at greater risk of the new classification since Friday, when the weekly control room will express itself. They would represent the first step backwards after months of progressive relaxation of anti-contagion measures. In yellow zone, in fact, in addition to the obligation to wear a mask even outdoors, you can dine in the restaurant only at the tables outside, inside the service of bars and restaurants ends at 6 pm. on the life of residents and tourists, the yellow zone could have a negative impact on bookings
