Chronicle

Coronavirus, 177 people in Puglia infected after returning from vacation. “Tourists did not bring viruses here”

And again 8 in Foggiano, “2 foreigners present in the provincial territory; 4 symptomatic persons; 1 return from Sardinia; 1 close contact of an already known case”; 2 in the province of Lecce, “a resident in close contact with known positive cases and a person domiciled in the province who contracted the infection outside the region”; 8 in Tarantino, “to attribute to subjects whose relatives had already tested positive in recent days. The patients, all asymptomatic, are constantly and carefully followed by the prevention department through technicians and doctors ”.

Two deaths (1 in the province of Bari and 1 resident outside the region) bring the total number of victims to 562, while 17 more cured bring the sum of the negative to 4,112. With these figures, the positives currently (total of cases less deaths and cured) amount to 1,122, of which 155 are hospitalized.

Data on RT, the national transmission rate calculated on symptomatic cases, also arrives. The Apulian average calculated over 14 days is equal to 1.08 (average between confidence intervals 0.54 and 1.51. The more distant the intervals are, the more the incidence of Rt is linked to individual outbreaks), just above the warning threshold represented. per ‘1 (on average one positive infects another), but below the national of 1.18. Puglia is currently one of the 6 regions where the index is higher than 1.

This indicates that, net of asymptomatic cases identified by screening / contact tracing and cases imported from abroad – specifies the Ministry of Health – there has been an increase in the number of symptomatic cases contracted locally and diagnosed in our country.However, the index National transmission should be interpreted with caution at this particular point in the epidemic. In fact, Rt calculated on symptomatic cases, while still the most reliable indicator at the regional level and comparable in time to monitor transmissibility, could slightly underestimate the actual transmission of the virus at the national level. “
