Of the 26,754 active cases as of September 1, 50.2% are concentrated in three regions: Lombardy (7,082), Lazio (3,285), Emilia-Romagna (3,061).

“In the last week – says the president of Gimbe, Nino Cartabellotta, referring to the national situation – the increase in the number of new cases and people currently positive continues, a result of both the increase in proven cases and the constant increase in the positive proportion / proven cases. In addition, the growing trend of hospitalizations with symptoms is consolidated and that of patients in intensive care is skyrocketing. They are indications that all are going in the direction of a resumption of the epidemic in our country, both in epidemiological terms and in clinical manifestations, just on the eve of the crucial moment of the reopening of schools ”.
