In the weekly monitoring, the ISS observes that for the third consecutive week the average transmissibility index Rt increases (to 0.93). However, for the first time, intensive care is below the critical threshold
Veneto with special surveillance “Three regions have a punctual Rt greater than 1 and another 3 have a value close to 1”, it is clear from the report. “The Veneto Region, in addition to a specific Rt greater than one, is accompanied by a particularly high incidence,” he emphasizes.
Low risk regions In particular – the document analyzes – 9 Autonomous Regions and provinces are classified as low risk: 11 are classified as moderate risk, of which three (Emilia-Romagna, Valle d’Aosta and Veneto) have a high probability of progressing at high risk in next month if current transferability remains unchanged. One region (Sardinia) has a risk classification ‘not assessable’ – equivalent to high risk – given the low percentage of completeness of the data “.
“Necessary to keep the penalty line” The incidence of the epidemic “remains very high and the impact remains in most parts of the country. In addition, a moderate or high risk of an uncontrolled and unmanageable epidemic continues to be observed in most regions.” confirms the need to maintain the line of rigor of the mitigation measures adopted during the Christmas holidays ”.
For the first time, intensive care is below the critical threshold There is also a generalized decrease in the impact of the epidemic on healthcare services, with bed occupancy rates in intensive care and medical areas below the critical threshold at the national level, set at 30%, for the first time since the end. October. However, it is observed that still 10 Regions have an employment rate in intensive care and / or medical areas above the critical threshold. Overall, the number of people admitted to intensive care decreased slightly from 2,731 (12/21/2020) to 2,565 (12/28/2020); the number of people hospitalized in medical areas also decreased from 25,145 (12/21/2020) to 23,932 (12/28/2020). This trend at the national level underlies strong interregional variations.
