In one day, 731 patients died in Italy, according to data from the Health Ministry on Monday night, the highest since April 3. At the same time, Lombardy, which is in the high-risk red zone, has called for restrictions to be eased. The death toll in Italy has reached 46,464, writes MTI.
In just one day, just over 32,000 new patients were screened, compared to over 27,000 in the past, but with nearly fifty thousand more tests performed. The epidemic curve remains stable, without a significant jump in the last week, but the number of patients admitted to the intensive care unit is increasing day by day, reaching one hundred and twenty in 24 hours. There are currently 3,612 patients on ventilators, more than 33,000 patients are treated in the hospital, and the number of active infections is approaching 734,000.
In the province of Lazio, around Rome, the number of patients who became intensive in one day increased: 120 patients were connected to a ventilator in one day, a quarter of them in Lazio.
In Lombardy, which has been a focal point since spring and has a population of ten million, the number of patients examined in one day was still more than eight thousand and 202 died. The number of active patients in the province has exceeded 156 thousand, there are 894 intensively. Hospital saturation in the region has exceeded seventy percent. However, Governor Attilio Fontana has urged that Lombardy no longer be declared a high risk, that is, a red zone, starting next week, but instead be classified as a moderately dangerous orange category. The same has been requested by the Piedmont region, which is currently classified as red. The difference between the two levels is, among other things, the less strict closure of the hotel and retail trade.
By contrast, the Abruzzo province has declared itself a red zone since Wednesday. The southern Puglia medical association has also called for the region to be closed after data shows that one in four people in the more than four million range tested positive.
The Office of Public Health (ISS) forecasts that the current wave of epidemics is expected to peak next week. Iss added that, at the same time, the hitherto summery weather is coming to an end with a significant drop in temperature, which could usher in the flu season. According to medical associations, around two hundred doctors have died from the disease since the end of February and the number of sick health workers has risen to twenty thousand.
The Roman government has announced that the freeze on layoffs will run until March 31. To finance state aid, Italy will receive an additional € 6.5 billion from Sure, a European temporary aid instrument to reduce the risk of emergency unemployment, after receiving € 10 billion. Rome can use a total of 27.4 billion. According to data from the Social Security Institution (Inps) in July, more than seven million Italians received state support for their work due to the cessation of the epidemic. (MTI)
