Since Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte held the press conference to illustrate the restrictions envisaged in the Christmas decree, data collection seems to have given way a bit. It will be said that on Saturdays and Sundays, as usual, fewer swabs are carried out and analyzed, but in this way it is really difficult to understand the real trend of the epidemic. In fact, in proportion, the bulletin Monday, December 21, published by the Ministry of Health does not bode well: infections have been reduced to 10,872 but only thanks to the collapse of the tampons (87,889) which meant that the positivity rate jumped to 12.4% (+1.4), a sign that virus transmission is still too high. In addition, the dead went from 352 yesterday to 415 today, compared to the 19,632 recovered: to understand if the daily average of around 700 deaths reached in recent weeks has really passed, we will have to wait for the next few days, when the amount of tampons is expected to return to acceptable levels, or at least about 200 thousand. Meanwhile, the situation of the national health system remains almost unchanged: -13 hospitalizations in the Covid pavilions (25,145 beds currently occupied) and -12 in intensive care, where, however, there have been 161 new admissions, a sign that the mortality is still very serious.
