“Today we have contradictory data, more than 14 thousand positives and a positivity rate below 10% with less than 92 admissions to intensive care, however the number of deaths in 846 is very high and this indicates that in these 2-3 months the number of infected people is great with a massive resumption of the epidemic ”.
This was stated by the Director of Prevention of the Ministry of Health, Gianni rezza, at the press conference on the analysis of the epidemiological situation.
“Unfortunately we have a very high number of deaths, 846. Yesterday there were 491, these fluctuations are probably also due to problems of more or less timely reports, but 846 is a really dramatic figure. It means that the number of infected people is really high in these two or three months. There has been a truly impressive resumption of the epidemic “he added.
Still: “The figure for Veneto stands out, which exceeds 3,000 infections with a positive rate of 18%, while Lombardy is decreasing and there is a clear improvement in Campania compared to a month ago. This shows that restrictive measures work: the regions that had more incidents and that have been subjected to more restrictive measures are now better than the others. We are still above the critical threshold for the occupation of medical and intensive care areas ”.
About the school: “Reopening schools is a goal that everyone hopes will happen as soon as possible, maybe after the holidays, but it is still too early to say when to reopen high schools. Meanwhile, we must keep viral circulation low. Unfortunately, in fact, although we have been successful in reducing RT, which is now around 0.8, the incidence of new cases remains high. And if we have a lot of cases, even the Rt of just under 1 still produces a lot of infections. This is the crucial point: as long as we do not significantly lower the incidence, it is difficult to speak of a complete resumption of all activities ”.
