43 deaths from Covid in the last month are not counted. Thus the island ends up under observation by the Higher Institute of Health.

NUORO. The isoIt is in the small group of regions “with high risk of transmission of Sars-Cov-2” but the blame could be the whole “Nuoro case”, where the number of victims caused by Covid had been stuck for days. The weekly report of the Higher Institute of Health (Iss) has added Sardinia to Puglia and Calabria and, considering the permanence in the “ranking” for several weeks, the island has been invited to adopt “new restrictive measures”. The downgrade came despite the Rt index saying that the transmissibility of the virus within regional borders is the lowest in Italy.
Sardinia could have ended up among the “baddies” of pandemic management for another reason as well, reported by the same ISS which in fact also speaks of the inclusion of our region as a precautionary title, since it cannot be reliably assessed the data integrity. ”Thus, the blocking of Nuoro data and those related to the number of deaths of Covid patients may also have played a key role in the ISS report. In the specific case, the blame It should all be in a communication defect between the public hygiene service, the Region and the ISS that would have underestimated the number of victims caused by Covid, so it would have been correctly informed by the Nuoro hospital.
The number of deaths from Covid must be updated after the 5 deaths registered yesterday, December 4: the deaths are actually 511 in total, a figure that includes the realignment of the data from the province of Nuoro that led to the recalculation. It is about 43 victims who died mostly in the last month and never entered the daily bulletins.
