Then, instead, the president of the Region, Michele Emiliano, on the high numbers and concerns about the school and the new regulations: “Today we have reached 196 infected in a single day. It is evident that the resumption of all activities In times of pandemic, the reopening of schools, the return of the holidays, have caused an increase in infections. Most of them are asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic, so there is currently no stress in the hospital or particular concern. the virus circulates and circulates with great intensity. And it is clear that measures must be taken, not only to always wear the mask when there is close contact with other people. It will be necessary to ensure, for example, that the school transport can be less stressed, also assuming staggered lesson times: public transport has not increased also because the government has not decided to allocate a single euro to strengthen the public transport system and school, and these are items that need to be adjusted. We look forward to this DPCM. The Puglia hospital, however, is doing well although, of course, much attention has been paid to strengthening it in recent days. “

Even the councilor for health in pectore, Pier Luigi Lopalco, preaches caution: “As we have learned in so many months of experience, it is not the data of one day that must be evaluated, but the trend of the curve as a whole. Today’s is linked to the coincidence of an increase in cases in two provinces. It is a situation that must be carefully monitored and that, however, should invite everyone to pay the utmost attention and prudence ”.

There are no new deaths, so the total number of victims remains 603. The total cured amounted to 4,883, 54 more than yesterday). With these figures, the positives currently (total fewer deaths and cured cases) reach 3,133, of which 274 are hospitalized. This is the highest figure ever recorded in Apulia, even higher than the Phase 1 period. But the difference compared to the past is the quality of the patients, with more asymptomatic patients identified and much less pressure on hospital structures.
