While the positivity rate of the 10% (the approximation of 10,0006%): means that of 100 swabs performed, 10 were positive; yesterday it was 9.9%. This percentage gives an idea of ​​the trend of infections, regardless of the number of tests performed. Here is the map of contagion in Italy.

Fewer infections in 24 hours than yesterday, compared to fewer swabs, with the proportion of cases per swab (the positivity rate) increasing very little, going from 9.9% to 10%. The situation is not improving as it should. The Rt index rises from 0.82 to 0.86. There is a change of course in progress, the RT tends not to go down any further – says Gianni Rezza, director of prevention at the Ministry of Health, at the Risk Management Forum in Arezzo -. We must have proactive attitudes to prevent the epidemic from restarting during the vaccination campaign: this is a risk that must be avoided. A final effort is needed. We are traveling the last mile – says Chancellor Luigi Di Maio -. We have to grit our teeth.

Veneto remains the most affected region since December 5 (+4,211 cases) and today it also registers the highest number of victims (+107 deaths). Following by number of new infections in descending order: Lombardy (+2,744, here the newsletter), Emilia-Romagna (+1,745), Lazio (+1,428), Puglia (+1,314), Piedmont (+ 1,210 **) and Campania ( +1,201) which returns more than a thousand. All other regions have two or three digit increments. Below the detail with relative pads.

the the victims are more than 600 for the third consecutive day, after the 846 deaths on December 15. the most tragic data. Only Molise records zero deaths, while the highest number of deaths in Veneto (+107), Piedmont (+79), Emilia romagna (+75) e Lazio (+74). Below are the details of all regions.

Pressure on hospitals is easing, but we are above the critical threshold for positions occupied in the medical and intensive area, Rezza emphasizes. THE hospitalized in ordinary Covid wards I am 25,769 total: here are the occupied beds -658 compared to the previous day -2.5% (yesterday -470). While the most seriously ill of intensive care (IT) are 2,819 total: the number of beds occupied in resuscitation is -36 compared to the previous day -1.3% (yesterday -71), but they are +189 people join IT (+183 yesterday), and Campania did not provide this data. If the number of beds occupied in the ICU decreased by 36 units, but 189 people entered the IT, it means that in the last 24 hours they left it 225 patients (189 + 36) as improved or dead. the highest number of IT entries in Veneto (+36), Apulia (+28), Emilia romagna (+24) my Lombardy (+22), as the following table shows, the fourth column from the right.

Probably, part of the deaths occurred in the Covid wards, causing a decrease in hospitalizations. These are conjectures because we have no data on this.
