The number of places occupied in intensive care continues to decline. In contrast, ordinary hospitalizations and new infections are on the rise, even if the variations are minimal compared to yesterday. This is the photograph of the coronavirus epidemic in Sicily taken today by the usual bulletin issued by the Ministry of Health. On the island there are 1,138 new cases of 8,602 swabs processed (13.2% the positive rate, yesterday it was 11.4%). The death toll is still high, today there are 49, but experts have fully explained how this figure, unfortunately, will be the last to fall.
On the other hand, the number of beds occupied in intensive care decreased by 15 units, from 241 to 226. While ordinary hospitalizations went from 1,522 to 1,547 (+25). It would be important to have data on new admissions to hospitals or critical areas, but the Region does not provide them. Meanwhile, even today there are almost a thousand cured (949 to be precise), so the current positives increase by “only” 140 units, reaching 40,624 (of these 38,851 are in home isolation).
The province of Palermo with 18,683 total cases registered since the beginning of the emergency continues to be the most affected on the island, although today the highest number of infections was registered in Catania (503), while the new positives in the capital were 288 Then there are Messina 98, Ragusa 73, Agrigento 72, Caltanissetta 43, Siracusa 30, Enna 24 and Trapani 7.
First day in the yellow zone between bars and shopping.
Controversy on social networks (and where else) after yesterday, the first day of the yellow zone in Sicily, people took to the streets. In the morning, many chose Mondello to play sports and enjoy a coffee (at the counter), while in the afternoon in the center there were tables full of bars and queues outside the shops. The vast majority, it must be said, respected the rules imposed when wearing the mask and maintaining a distance of one meter. But obviously there was no lack of comments with criticism …
Controls continue: 131 people fined
Fine 131 people for not wearing the mask or creating dangerous gatherings. This is the balance of the anticovidos controls carried out on Friday and Saturday by the police between Palermo and the province. On the other hand, two companies were sanctioned for not respecting the regulations on distancing. The data refer to the investigations carried out on the eve of the “yellow zone” by the police, the police, the financial police and the municipal police under the coordination of the Prefecture.
The situation in the rest of Italy
The new bulletin of the Ministry of Health confirms the slowdown of the second wave: today in fact more cases cured than new. In fact, 23,004 people have “defeated” the virus compared to 16,377 people who tested positive for Covid. After yesterday, hospitalizations were further reduced also in the critical area, today there is less employment of 9 places in intensive care but an increase of 308 hospitalizations in normal wards. Unfortunately, even today there are more than 600 deaths.
