“Today we have 23,232 positives, with 188,659 swabs, while yesterday there were 149,000, so there has been a slight increase in the number of positives.. But there is a bad figure: there were 853 deaths compared to 630 yesterday ”. This was stated by the Director of Prevention of the Ministry of Health, Gianni Rezza, at the press conference of the Ministry on the analysis of the epidemiological situation.
For the first time since the start of the second wave, hospitalizations for Covid in medical departments have fallen: the Ministry of Health bulletin shows that to date there are 34,577 people hospitalized, 120 fewer than on Monday, when there were 34,697
“More or less at least 60% to 70% of the population should be vaccinated against SarsCov2 to get herd immunity, Rezza said. “This means vaccinating 42 million Italians, Franco locatelli added, and this is a great challenge. But there will be a progressive increase in vaccine doses from 2021 and having more than one vaccine is an advantage.”
Regarding the flu vaccine, Rezza reported that this year between 17 and 18 million doses have been purchased. But it can also happen that the doses arrive in a staggered way for production reasons. Clearly there was a lot of demand and so if the supplies had not arrived from all sides this has brought discomfort, but the campaign is going well and we are satisfied.
Rezza expressed concern about moving around Christmas because, in her opinion, they pose a risk. “I cannot deny my concern, certainly the unlimited movements for Christmas and the aggregations represent a risk for the spread of the infection – he said -“.. Then we will see what the decisions will be for next month.

More than 800 dead today, Locatelli added, should remind us that we are not out of the trouble at all. There may be a middle way which, for example, may refer to restrictions after certain hours or not to create ample moments of sociability. “
Furthermore, according to Locatelli, opening the ski lifts is incompatible with numbers. “Nobody underestimates the impact of a closure of ski activities, however the current numbers do not make a reopening hypothesis compatible because it would mean exposing the entire country to a resumption of the epidemic curve and having a European consultation is absolutely essential,” he said. .

Regarding the vaccination against CovidLocatelli said that it is false that “the country is not organizing, nothing more false.” “On the contrary – he added – we are working intensively on how to develop the anti-convid vaccination plan in the shortest possible time. The effort we are making to create the strategy to get out of the pandemic. Then we will need a close relationship between the Government and the Regions. “The country must be aware that it is working.”
