Covid: 8,913 positives in the last 24 hours, 305 victims – Health



[ad_1]

The last day of the soft Christmas blockade provides data on the epidemic still conditioned by the holidays, but with a positive rate of almost 15%, another two points more. In short, the contagion curve does not freeze at all like the vaccine in refrigerators before use; For more information, experts say, we may have to wait until Tuesday, with a return tomorrow to perhaps a more significant number of tampons. Fewer than 60,000 tests were reported today from the previous 24 hours.

Fear is the effect that the holidays will have on the contagion curve, triggering or not the dreaded third wave (or the resurgence of the second). Today there are fewer than 9,000 positive swabs and 305 victims (including Alto Adige data not disclosed on Saturday), for a total of Covid deaths that reached the increasingly terrifying number of 71,925. But in the last 24 hours, according to data from the Ministry of Health, there are only two fewer patients in intensive care between entries and exits (Campania, as always, does not report daily entries) and 267 hospitalized with more symptoms in ordinary wards. For the second consecutive day, the currently positive ones, the sick ones, increase, this time by almost a thousand units. As for what to take with a grain of salt on super vacations, the figures say that Veneto reports another 3,337 cases and a positive rate of 25.97%, 10 points above the national figure. For the president of the Region Luca Zaia “the truth is that we do a lot of molecular and fast swabs, but if all the positives are ‘loaded’ only in the molecular ones, a high percentage comes out. The Ministry has said that it will change this problem.” According to the Venetian health authorities, the real rate of positivity – also considering rapid tests – in December would be 8%. But the yellow zone does not really appear to have benefited the Region considered a model in the first wave.
