The chorus is always the same. Buffers drop and positives drop. A trend that renews, in the weekly sway of numbers, the panorama certified by the national pandemic bulletin issued by the Ministry of Health and the Istituto Superiore della Sanità Every monday, when, in black and white, is the data of the swabs processed during the weekend. A number inexorably lower than the rest of the week. Reason why what is given in itself says little and should lead us to rejoice little.

The point is that new infections of coronavirus checked in Italy in the last 24 hours are 22,930 (yesterday was 28,337), for a total of 1,431,795 since the beginning of the emergency. The swabs performed to which the current data of new positive cases refer are 148,945, about 40 thousand less than the previous day, for a total of 20,537,521 since the beginning of the epidemic.

In any case, more relevant, but still relative, is the incidence of positive cases determined over the total number of swabs performed, which remains constant at 15% (to be exact 15.39%). It is even more appreciable the weekly image, compared to the previous seven days, which highlights how the epidemic curve is in slight but constant decline.

In front of a slightly more tampons (1,508,611 of the last seven days versus 1,506,472 of the previous seven), the comparison between the last two weeks shows a drop of just under 20 thousand cases of positivity (19.607 to be exact).

Obviously, the question of deaths remains to be considered. The deaths, in the last 24 hours, were 630, for a total of 50,453 victims since the beginning of the emergency.

Currently, the positives in Italy are 796,849, of which 758,342 are in home isolation. 34,697 patients were hospitalized with symptoms (+418 compared to yesterday), of these 3,810 in intensive care (+9). The region with the highest number of new cases is Lombardy with 5,289, followed by Veneto (2,540), Emilia-Romagna (2,347) and Lazio (2,341). The Regions with the lowest increase in infections are Basilicata (58), Valle d’Aosta (77) and Molise (91).
