And the Aosta Valley the region with more cases of Covid-19 in Italy by number of inhabitants. Not Lombardy, not Piedmont, not Campania, but the smallest and least populated Italian region.
According to the data, Valle D’Aosta has almost 600 positives out of 100,000 inhabitants. In second place the Province of Bolzano, with 348 cases out of every 100,000 inhabitants.
But that’s not all, because the small mountainous region of the northwest of the country is also the one that has most positive cases in relation to the people affected, the number of hospitalizations and deceased in the last seven days.
In addition, according to the latest weekly monitoring of the ISS-Ministry of Health, Valle D’Aosta is the region with the transmissibility index (Rt) worst in Italy: equal to 1.53, higher than the national average of 1.17.
Bulletin
According to the latest bulletin issued by the Region on October 27, the number of Covid-19 cases in Valle D’Aosta has risen to 1376; 156 deaths and 106 hospitalized people, of which 7 in intensive care. In the last 24 hours, 57 new cases compared to 110 swabs performed: in practice approximately 1 in 2 people are positive.
Why is the Aosta Valley the most infected region in Italy?
The number of infections in Valle D’Aosta increased again significantly at the end of September, with the discovery of sprouts developed on the occasion of parties and meetings. The increase in cases has led the authorities to decree red zones the 3 municipalities of Saint-Denis, Chambave and Verrayes, where the index Rt equal to 2 sounded the alarm.
The head of the department of Infectious Diseases of the Parini hospital in Aosta explained that theaverage age of admission low. “The infection occurs mainly at home, most of those hospitalized are between 40 and 50 years old. Many hospitalized patients have positive cases at home. I have noticed this spread, for example, from grandchildren who have been to parties: in their families there has been a spread of the virus like a forest fire. This is the dynamic now “he said.
To weigh the situation in Valle D’Aosta, probably the proximity to France where more than 50,000 new cases were registered during the weekend (although it is feared that in reality they are double) and where new restrictive measures are expected to address an increasingly critical situation.
Although Europe is in the grip of the second wave, in fact, the borders have remained open. For those entering Italy from France (but also from Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Spain), the negative swab is mandatory. The rule, however, does not apply to those who come to Italy for work, health or absolute urgency reasons and do not stay there for more than 120 mineral; Alabama health personnel who arrives to practice his profession (even temporarily), and ai cross-border workers and to students for attending a course of study in a State other than that of residence, home or residence, to which they return every day at least once a week.
