The number of patients admitted to intensive care after contracting the coronavirus is growing. There are 107 in all of Italy, 13 more in the space of 24 hours. A clear increase if we take into account that on July 29 the Ministry of Health reported only 38, only 2 in Sicily. On the island, on the other hand, serious patients have grown so much that now there are 10, the second most serious number after Lombardy with 21.

To the 107 patients who are in intensive care throughout Italy we must add the 1,380 hospitalized with symptoms (+92 compared to Monday) and the 25,267 in home isolation. In total, therefore, ongoing infections affect 26,754 people (+676 compared to two days ago).

Clear growth, alarming at first glance the Sicilian figure, which nevertheless needs to be analyzed further. According to experts, in fact, some patients are not so serious, but they are assisted in intensive care only because they need non-invasive supportive ventilation. Therefore, the number of infected people who need intubation on the island would be in line with the national average.
