The positive current – the subjects who now have the virus – turn out to be in total 754,169, equal to -3,533 compared to yesterday, -0.5% (yesterday they were -2.280).

I tampons They were 194,984, 17,757 less than yesterday when there were 212,741. While the positivity rate of the 10.8%: (approximation of 10.79%): means that of 100 swabs performed, more than 10 were positive; yesterday it was 11.3%. 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 one day than yesterday: I’m still over 20,000 for the fourth day in a row. We have left the rebound behind (40 thousand cases on November 13 with a positive rate of 16%), but the incidence of cases is still high -explained ISS President Silvio Brusaferro yesterday- and with these daily figures it is impossible to reactivate monitoring contacts. Not forgetting the many deaths. Maximum attention until the holidays: avoid a third wave in January. We cannot afford a new rebound – Health Minister Roberto Speranza explained to SkyTg24 -, we do not want to see our health facilities in absolute difficulty, we do not want this unfortunately very high number of deaths to grow again. The exit of the long pandemic, as Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said.

I hospitalized in Covid wards ordinary are 30,158 in total: the number of occupied beds is -1,043 compared to the day before (yesterday -572). The negative balance (fewer beds occupied in ordinary wards) does not indicate how many people in the last 24 hours have left because they have recovered or died and how many have entered the hospital: we know that more than possible new entries have left. Probably, part of the deaths occurred in the Covid wards, which caused a decrease in hospitalizations. These are conjectures because we have no data on this.
