I am 927 new coronavirus infections in Campania, compared to 15,130 swabs tested in the past 24 hours. Of these, 62 are symptomatic and 865 are asymptomatic. The positivity rate today is therefore equal to 6.12%, compared to a value of 9.52% in the region since the start of the pandemic, with a total of 177,527 infections in 1,860,023 swabs analyzed. Figures that certify, therefore, the decrease in infections in the region, which in the next few hours could become a yellow zone, net of new restrictions imposed by the central government and by the Campania Region itself in view of the holidays.

On the other hand, there are 1,656 hospitalized for CoViD-19 in ordinary hospital wards, in addition to 119 hospitalizations in intensive care. The number of cured in the last 24 hours is equal to 2,530 cases, bringing the total to 88,502 people negative for the virus. The deaths registered on the last day are instead 48, which brings the total to 2,472 people have died since the start of the pandemic. Therefore, December has already become the second most tragic month from the point of view of deaths, behind the second in November, which, in 30 days, registered 1,045 deaths. A tragic average, therefore, that of the last months of the year, which registered a record of deaths in Campania as had not been seen at all since the beginning of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, the regional president Vincenzo De Luca spoke today about the possibility of a schools reopening in January, after the holidays. “The school year? If it resumes … I have my doubts, but we will decide at the beginning of January 2021,” explained De Luca, who therefore implies that he wants to understand the data of the infection first after the end of the next vacation, that is, when there is more risk. “forbidden” contacts than on other days and therefore greater risk of contagion within the home but also between friends and acquaintances.
