The pressure on Italian hospitals is increasing, where 2,560 hospitalized in Covid wards are registered (+68 yesterday, compared to Wednesday), while 212 critical patients need intensive care (+5), according to data from thelatest coronavirus bulletin of the Ministry of Health. No alarmism: there are no signs of overload in hospital services, but the upward trend forces the alert level to remain high.
Hospitalizations for Covid-19 increase especially in the central and southern regions, the increase is 8.55% in the central regions and 8.52% in those of the south, compared to 4.38% in the north. The trend arises fromInstant Covid-19 Report, initiative of the Higher School of Economics and Health Systems Management (Atems) of the Catholic University, which makes a systematic comparison of the trend in the spread of Sars-Cov-2 at the national level. The data used for the analysis was extrapolated from the Civil Protection website updated on September 15.
