The positive rate for swabs made in Sicily is close to 20 percent, where 1,837 new cases of coronavirus are discovered in the last 24 hours of the 9,479 tests processed. After a day, yesterday, with “encouraging” data, today the figures of the bulletin issued by the Ministry of Health do not smile. Because it is a record of infections but also deaths, 44, which exceed a thousand victims since the start of the pandemic.
Even from hospitals there are no promising signs: hospitalized patients with symptoms increase to 1,528 (+23 compared to yesterday), while intensive care increases to 240 (+13). The healed are 447, while the current positives become 1,346. There are 30,334 isolated people at home. Catania is the province with the most cases today, 426. In Palermo 378, Messina 324, Ragusa 132, Trapani 291, Siracusa 77, Agrigento 96, Caltanissetta 72, Enna 41.
The situation in the rest of Italy
There are 34,283 new cases. The positives currently in our country are more than 743 thousand. More than 33,000 people hospitalized, plus the more than 3,000 people who need intensive care to stay alive. Unfortunately today the deaths of 753 people who died from Covid in recent days are also recorded. The regions of Liguria, Puglia and Basilicata present indices that could push the Ministry of Health to issue an ordinance that places the regions in the red zone as of November 20. From today Abruzzo is the red zone.
