“The five Regions that are still classified as high risk for an uncontrolled and unmanageable epidemic are advised to rapidly adopt mitigation measures.” The Higher Institute of Health writes this in the usual weekly monitoring.

And among the five areas in which the risk of covid remains high is also Trentino, particularly exposed also in terms of impact on the hospital system.

On the other hand, most of the Regions are classified as moderate risk, but the high incidence and the current strong impact on hospital services require caution and, at the same time, maintain a high focus on individual behavior in the face of barrier gestures.

Today they registered in Trentino another ten deaths and 547 new infections.

In Apulia, Sardinia, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and, as mentioned, the autonomous province of Trento, the risk is high, in 14 other regions moderate, in two low.

“The epidemiological situation – writes the ISS – continues to be serious and it is recommended that, depending on the impact on health and local services, a modulation of mitigation measures in the Regions and Provinces avoid relaxing the measures themselves and the level of attention of the population to the point of determining a rapid reversal of the documented trend with a resumption of infection in a context of still very high incidence that would have very serious consequences for the country ”.

The Rt index in Italy falls to 0.82 in the weekly monitoring of the Ministry of Health and the ISS until December 1.

In 20 between Regions and Autonomous Provinces it is less than 1.

Intensive care units decreased by 300 and hospitalizations by 2,800. There is a significant decrease in the incidence of cases per capita, but the value is still too high to allow sustainable management. In the last 24 hours, 18,727 cases and 761 victims.

Compared to swabs, the positivity rate dropped to 9.8%.

In 16 Regions there is a “high impact” on health services due to overload of intensive care and the medical area, due to evidence of new outbreaks (in Rsa, nursing homes, hospitals or places with vulnerable populations) and new reported cases.

These are Abruzzo, Calabria, Campania, Emilia Romagna., Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, PA Bolzano, PA Trento, Puglia, Sardinia, Tuscany, Umbria and Veneto.

However, in general, the number of people admitted to intensive care decreased from 3,663 (01/12/2020) to 3,345 (08/12/12); the number of people admitted to medical areas also decreased from 32,811 (01/12/2020) to 30,081 (08/12/2020).

“The still too high incidence and the current strong impact on health services require waiting before considering a relaxation of mitigation measures, including mobility, in addition to the need to maintain high attention to behavior”, recommends the ‘Iss.

Although there is a significant decrease in the incidence at the national level in the last 14 days (454.70 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period 11/30/2020-06 / 12/2020 compared to 590.65 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period 23 / 11 / 2020-29 / 11/202), the value is still very high.
In other words, the incidence is still “too high to allow sustainable management”.
