The number of daily cases in Sicily has once again exceeded a thousand. Unsurprisingly after restrictions were eased shortly before the Christmas holidays, infections are starting to rise again. At the moment, this is only a slight increase: in fact, new cases are 1,084 of the 8,497 swabs processed, with a positivity rate jumping to 12.7%. One of the highest of the last period.
The good news of the day is that after three days the upward trend in hospital occupancy stops. While Sicily awaits the arrival of another 55,000 doses of vaccine (Currently 600 people are vaccinated on the island), ordinary hospitalizations go from 1,093 to 1,085 (-8) while those in intensive care go to 166 (-3 compared to yesterday) with 12 new admissions. Unfortunately there are 29 other victims.
The number of cured is high, which in the last 24 hours is 1,077, and this implies that the current positives are lower than yesterday and go to 33,387 (32,136 in home isolation). Palermo is the province most affected with 292 new cases, followed by Catania (251), Messina (232), Ragusa (46), Trapani (76), Siracusa (98), Caltanissetta (57), Agrigento (12), Enna ( twenty). ).
