Never so many recordings in one day, with a new spike in swabs to map the most worrisome outbreaks. There were never more than 300 daily positives. There are 315 cases of covid-19 infection compared to the 5,844 swabs made, according to the data published by the Region on the coronavirus in the October 15 bulletin.

Those infected are divided as follows: 169 in the province of Bari, 13 in the province of Brindisi, 28 in the province BAT, 55 in the province of Foggia, 11 in the province of Lecce, 37 in the province of Taranto, 2 residents outside the region.

Outbreaks continue to be widespread at the intra-family, care and school level. This is the example of a new positive student in Gravina in Puglia who forced Mayor Alesio Valente to close Montemurro High School to allow it to be disinfected and complete contact tracing. It is the third time for a Gravinese school complex in the last 7 days.

Another 10, also in Murgian City, are connected to the same group: a banquet. “That’s why I invite you to be careful,” was the mayor’s warning. Even more problematic is the question related to RSA Giovanni XXIII in Alberobello: 59 positive patients (out of 62) and 12 employees (out of 22) were found here.

Mayor Michele Longo has ordered the closure of schools and municipal offices until October 16. It is precisely about this that the dg Asl Bari, Antonio Sanguedolce also expressed: “Today the Prevention Department registered 169 cases of positivity to Sars-Cov 2. This data, in addition to taking into account the numerous close contacts of already known cases submitted to epidemiological surveillance, includes 71 cases detected in a nursing home.

The monitoring and buffering activity rapidly implemented by the ASL Bari Prevention Department identified 59 positives among guests and 12 among operators. Taking into account the general epidemiological panorama, the director of the competent socio-sanitary district was entrusted to support the structure for any need related to health. “

Two new deaths in the provinces of Bari and Foggia bring the total of victims to 618, while the total cured amounts to 5,317, 82 more than yesterday. With these figures, the positives currently (total of cases less deaths and cured) reach 4,229, of which 334 are hospitalized.
