Coronavirus, ISS report: ‘Warning signs for further transmission, ready for further action. The age of sick people increases due to infections in the family ‘

Are registered “important warning signs related to a higher transmission place of coronavirus. It is the alarm that theHigher Institute of Health that, in its report referring to the week of September 7 to 13, continues to register a “slow and progressive worsening of the SARS-Cov-2 epidemic, although with a more contained trend than that observed in other European countries ”, with an incidence in the last 14 days (from August 31 to September 13) of 29.63 positives per 100 thousand inhabitants. The experts assure that, for the moment, the data “confirm the opportunity to maintain the prevention and control measures already adopted”, but they also say that we must be “.ready to activate more interventions in case of further deterioration “.

In fact, the transmission of the virus is now widespread “throughout the national territory – we read – and causes sprouts also of considerable size and often associated with Recreational activities that involve meetings and violations of distancing rules physical, both nationally and abroad. “For this reason, the population is recommended to pay” special attention to the risk of contracting the infection in crowded situations and during periods of stay in countries or areas with greater viral circulation. “

But if in recent weeks it was mainly the you come on vacation of the younger population, especially abroad, but also in Italian tourist areas where even large outbreaks have been recorded, todaymiddle age of people who contract the virus increase again and reach 41 years, and 35% of new infections affect people over 50 years. “This is probably due to a Transmission from the youngest population to the most fragile or elderly., especially within the family: this is reflected in a greater commitment of hospital services ”.

It is not surprising that in almost all the Regions there is an increase in the rate of dedicated bed occupancy both in the medical area and in intensive care. At the national level, the occupancy rate in the medical area increased from 2% to 4% compared to the period 17-30 August 2020, while the occupancy rate in intensive care went from 1% to 2%, with higher values at 5% for some Regions. “Although signs of overload of health services have not yet been identified,” she says, “the observed trend could be reflected in greater commitment.”

The number of currently active outbreaks is 2,397, of which 698 are new, and both are increasing for the seventh consecutive week. This implies, it is emphasized, “an increasing commitment of local services in the activities of search of contacts that until now have managed to contain the local transmission of the virus”.

Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more.
