Disseminate the data of the Lombardy Region, which recalls: The increase in positive cases, in Lombardy as in other regions, should always be related to the number of swabs performed.

The Region highlights, in other words, how today’s positive rate (6.3%) is very similar to yesterday’s (6.2%).

Here the national bulletin. This is the map of contagion in Italy, here the updated table of cases in the world.

The massive tracking activity in just one day allowed to identify a very high number of positive cases (1,706 outcomes yesterday and 138 referring to previous days, but uploaded today by the laboratory network). More than half of the positives are registered in the province of Milan. Says the general director of Wellbeing of the Lombardy Region, Marco Trivelli. 92% of positives – explains Trivelli – have few or no symptoms. However, based on these absolute numbers, the patients admitted to the wards of our hospitals increase by 99 units, while the balance of patients in intensive care (64 in total) remains low (two more than yesterday) . Faced with these developments – underlines the general director – together with the general directors of Ats, Asst and Irccs of Lombardy, and with the representatives of the professional associations of accredited private hospitals, we are working to have a rapid increase in the availability of beds dedicated to patients with Covid, in line with the regional plan.
