The lethality of Covid-19 has been reduced: if almost 15 out of every hundred patients died until June, today around 12. But coronavirus infections are growing strongly especially in the Central-South regions, with Sardinia, Campania, Lazio and Sicily that from June 16 to September 24, show an increase in positives equal to + 154.2%, + 140.7%, + 90.8% and + 83.8% respectively. Numbers that “suggest that the phase we are living in does not seem to have the same characteristics as the previous one.” This is what emerges from the update of the data related to the Covid-19 emergencyNational Health Observatory coordinated by Walter Ricciardi, Professor of Hygiene at the Catholic University of Rome and by Alessandro Solipaca, Scientific Director of the Observatory.
“The worrying trend” in these regions, the authors of the OsservaSalute Report explain, is also confirmed by observing the average number of daily infections: in Campania it was 67 cases in the first 60 days of the pandemic (from February 24 to February 23). April), while in the last 60 days (from July 27 to September 24) it rose to 102. In Sardinia in the same period the daily average number of cases went from 21 to 35, in Lazio from 101 to 110 and in Sicily from 49 to 53. Alarm It is also the fact that “in these regions there are also a smaller number of people undergoing tests”: 11.7 per 100 inhabitants in Lazio, 9.3 in Sardinia, 6.7 in Sicily and 6 , 1 in Campania. Fortunately, the fatality is still one of the lowest: 4.1 deaths per 100 infected in Campania, 4.3 in Sicily, 4.6 in Sardinia and 5.9 in Lazio, compared to the Italian average of 11.8. In contrast, Lombardy and Piedmont, the two Regions that were hit most violently by infections in the first phase of the pandemic, in the second phase show a more limited increase in new infections, respectively 14.6% and 11.5% . The average number of daily infections, from February 24 to April 23, was 1,169 in Lombardy and 386 in Piedmont; from July 27 to September 24 they were reduced to 159 and 51 infections, respectively. In Lombardy, however, the highest fatality rate remains, 16 deaths for every 100 infected.
