Today the governor of the Lazio, Nicola Zingaretti, will sign theorder what makes the More expensive even outdoors. Anytime, anywhere, unless you’re playing sports. The measure will be closer to the day when 265 positive cases were registered, the highest number since the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2. In Campania this measure had already been decided by By Luca in recent days, combined with the limit on the number of people who can participate in the parties and the suspension of the sale of alcohol after 22.00. These decisions are made in light of the progressive increase contagion, which is now also affecting two regions such as Lazio and the Campania that were saved from the first phase of the epidemic of coronavirus. But the alarm situation is now affecting the entire country: today the control room of the Ministry of Health will transmit weekly evaluations, region by region, on the progress of the epidemic. And it will certify the multiplication of shoots.

Crisanti: «The cases increase due to the reopening of schools, but the real effects are in mid-October. Tackling the virus with swabs “
Increase
In the last week, compared to the previous seven days, the number of new positive cases increased by 9 percent. In Italy two weeks ago there were 208 patients in intensive care for Covid, today there are 291. There are 13 between regions and autonomous provinces with RT, the virus transmission index, above the critical level of 1. Lazio, in particular, is at 1.09. Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna should be saved, where there are hundreds of new infections every day, but from very high initial data, the RT barely jumps up. Does that mean the situation is exploding? No, experts say, because in any case we are not yet in the exponential growth of new cases and we are far (for now) from the peaks of Spain and France, but the situation must be kept under control with great care, taking into account that we are just at the beginning. autumn. But there is another piece of information that makes you think: in many regions the schools were reopened on September 14, therefore more than two weeks ago. Yesterday the record of new positives was reached, well above 2,500 in 24 hours, which is 35 percent more than the average of the previous days. Was this increase caused by the spread of the virus in the classrooms that was later passed on to the family? The doubt exists, although perhaps it is too early to speak about the effect of the reopening of schools, since some regions have restarted their lessons late.
In assessing the regions, today’s special guards are Lazio and Campania and yesterday’s daily data confirms this. Let’s be clear: they are not the ones with the most positive cases in the last 24 hours, given that Veneto has the record, 445, and Lombardy remains at 324, more than Lazio. But Veneto and Lombardy have found the new infected after a massive use of tampons. 18,271 in Veneto, 24,691 in Lombardy. We are in a positive percentage that fluctuates between 1 and 2 percent, so the investigation is intense. This is also partially true for Lazio: 265 positive swabs had never been found in a single day, but 11,373 swabs were performed, so we are always at 2.3 percent, which means new infected are well sought out. In Campania, however, the situation changes: there were 390 new cases, but on a much stricter basis than tampons, 8,311. We’re at 4.7 percent of positive tests, very close to that cutoff of 5, which experts say is a sign that not enough swabs are being done. This is a reasoning that also involves Sardinia: yesterday with just over 2,000 swabs it found 96 positive, we are close to 5 percent, in fact. Among other things, these percentages are obtained based on the total number of swabs, which also includes confirmatory ones. If we think of individual patients, we go above 5 percent.
Rules
Lazio is also the region with the most hospitalized patients (666) and the most patients in intensive care (49). Regional councilor Alessio D’Amato would have liked to impose the mask obligation first, while Zingaretti has slowed down because he believes in a more gradual application of countermeasures. The commissioner is not concerned about the number of hospitalizations: in Lazio, as a strategy, there is a tendency to hospitalize more frequently than in other regions to keep the fatality rate low. “However – says D’Amato – we are far from the saturation of structures, even in intensive care settings. Having said that, I have been saying for weeks that we need the utmost prudence and respect for regulations to curb the epidemic. Campania, after Lazio, is the region with the most hospitalized patients: 38 in intensive care and 421 in the other wards.
