In Italy we are witnessing an acceleration in the evolution of the epidemic has now entered an acute phase with a progressive increase in the number of cases, evidence of criticality in local services and increases in the occupancy rate of beds in the intensive care and medical area that put risks, in some regions and autonomous provinces, reach critical values in the next month.
To write it, in surveillance Weekly, they are the Higher Institute of Health and the Ministry of Health. The virus is now circulating throughout the country and the new data highlights important warning signs linked to increased transmission. In the period from September 24 to October 7, 2020, the TR calculated on symptomatic cases is equal to 1.17. A strong increase in cases was observed in the week of October 5 to 11, raising the incidence in the last 14 days to 75 per 100,000 inhabitants compared to 44.37 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period from September 21 to October 4. In the same period, the number of symptomatic cases almost doubled: 15,189 symptomatic cases in the period 28 / 9-11 / 10 against 8,198 symptomatic cases in the period 21 / 9-4 / 10.
Have been reported in general 4,913 active outbreaks, of which 1,749 new, both increasing for the eleventh consecutive week (3,805 active outbreaks were reported in the previous follow-up week, of which 1,181 new ones). Outbreaks have been reported in almost all provinces (102 out of 107). Most of these outbreaks continue to occur at home (80.3%). The percentage of outbreaks detected in recreational activities remained stable (4.2% vs 4.1% the previous week). But, the ISS and the ministry point out, this week outbreaks in which transmission could have occurred in the school setting are increasing, but intra-school transmission remains generally a dynamic of limited transmission: 3.8% of all new outbreaks in which the transmission context was reported. However, extracurricular activities can be a trigger for chains of transmission if the planned prevention measures are not respected.
For this reason, the Higher Institute of Health and the Ministry of Health appeal to the population to conscientiously and precisely respect all the precautionary rules provided (in particular, physical distance and the correct and appropriate use of masks) and to avoid as far as possible. If possible, situations that may favor transmission such as spontaneous and planned aggregations to avoid further deterioration that could require territorially extended restrictions.
