The number of positives counted daily in Puglia and written, in black and white, on bulletin monitoring the progress of the epidemic in the region are worrisome, but not alarming. Most of the cases discovered, also thanks to the precious contact tracing work that allows isolating “potential infections” while waiting for the swab result, thus avoiding the spread of the virus, are all asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. This is demonstrated by the percentage of people who expect the Covi19 to go “in isolation” to their home, more than 90%. Hospitalizations approach 8%, less than 1% in intensive care. In short, it means that the Apulian healthcare system is managing the rising contagion curve.
This does not mean that we should lower our guard, but it is more necessary than ever to continue to respect the rules – mask and safety distance – to prevent the spread of infections. Even in the latest update of the report, drawn up from information from the director of the Health Promotion Department, Vito Montinaro, the figures are in three digits, after the 180 cases counted in yesterday’s bulletin in more than 5,500 swabs, a record. Today, of the 5,844 tests for Covid-19 infection, still a record, have been recorded 315 positive cases: 169 in the province of Bari, 13 in the province of Brindisi, 28 in the province BAT, 55 in the province of Foggia, 11 in the province of Lecce, 37 in the province of Taranto, 2 residents outside the region.
Two deaths were recorded: 1 in the province of Bari and 1 in the province of Foggia. The numbers on hand are 5317 recovered patients. 4229 are currently positive cases.
Once again, the province of Bari has the highest number of Coronavirus cases covered in 24 hours. As always, the “close contacts” of cases of positivity to Sar-Cov2 isolated and subjected to epidemiological surveillance weigh in the count, but we must also consider -as the general director of the local Asl Antonio Sanguedolce explained- the outbreak that broke out in inside a nursing home, where 71 cases discovered by the Prevention Department: 59 guests of the facility and 12 operators tested positive. “Considering the complex epidemiological framework – concluded the Dg – the director of the competent socio-sanitary district was entrusted to support the structure for any sanitary need”.
The total of positive Covid cases in Puglia is 10,164, divided as follows:
- 4164 in the province of Bari
- 942 in Bat province
- 817 in the province of Brindisi
- 2462 in the province of Foggia
- 911 in the province of Lecce
- 785 in the province of Taranto
- 79 attributed to residents outside the region
- 4 province of unknown residence.
