If the government thinks that Apulia is one of the main problems at the moment, even if the region and the rest of Italy will be declassified in the yellow zone in the next few hours, it is because for days large figures on the ministry have been on the table of ours. situation. In the last few hours a mathematical model has been circulating. That chart predicts that Puglia would be among the last regions to see the peak of the pandemic, even after Christmas. Now comes another worrying fact. It is about employment in intensive care and confirms that the predictions of mathematical models made in recent days have skyrocketed. The data was provided by Civil Protection and reports that in the last 24 hours there have been 33 new entries in the resuscitation rooms of Apulia. This is the highest figure in Italy, even worse than in regions worse in terms of infections like Veneto and Piedmont, but also higher than in Lombardy. That registers 32 new entrances but that has 10 million inhabitants, against 4 million in Puglia.

Among other things, the number of new entries is a new figure, provided for the first time by Civil Protection, which really allows us to understand how the turnover of patients in intensive care occurs. The problem, therefore, is that the figures for Apulia continue to fall too slowly. The proof is that incredible amount of new entries. Nonsense in relation to the population and what has happened in these six months. In general, even the latest bulletin confirms that Puglia stands in contrast to the rest of the country. There are currently 226 hospitalized in resuscitation and 1,621 in pulmonology and infectious diseases. Deaths increase: 42 (half in Bari and its province). The incidence of contagion continues to increase: out of 8,753 tests, 1,602 positives were registered, with a test / infected ratio of 18.3 percent. Eight percentage points more than the national average. But if we consider only the first diagnostic swabs (not the repeated ones), the number of tests performed drops to 2,000 925 and the test / infected ratio rises to 54.7 percent.

by Gianvito Rutigliano
However, Puglia, like the rest of Italy, could soon be declassified in the yellow zone. This was also confirmed by the regional health councilor, Pierluigi Lopalco, speaking of “many indicators improving”, to the point that Apulia could soon end up in the yellow zone: “We are awaiting the decision of the ministry. We are in an intermediate situation, in first place improves the RT: now it is below 1 », says a A day of the sheep on Rai Radio 1. But he explains that on the subject “there is a misunderstanding of bad communication: saying that a region is Yellow means to say that there is no danger, it has passed and I am terrified of the free all ». Meanwhile, data from the Gimbe foundation confirm that the situation in Apulia remains difficult: between November 6, the day of entry into the orange zone, and November 28, all indicators worsened, from the number of new cases even the hospitalized. in ordinary wards, passing through intensive care occupation. The only thing that has improved is the Rt index. Also, between October 26 and November 22, positive cases grew 126 percent. Only Basilicata (+ 167%), Calabria (+ 139%) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (+ 130%) are worse. Today a new update will arrive with the usual weekly update from the Higher Institute of Health.
Apulia is also preparing for the new provisions of the last dpcm signed by the president of advice, Giuseppe Conte, on the rules to be followed during the Christmas holidays. And President Michele Emiliano is going his own way on the subject of schools and preparing to renew the previous ordinance that did not require face-to-face teaching, giving parents the opportunity to keep their children in distance education. Therefore, no changes are foreseen for the schools in Apulia.
