There are currently 8,540 positives on the island, the largest increase in Palermo
PALERMO – The march of the coronavirus in Sicily does not stop. The numbers continue to rise and even today the bulletin of the Ministry of Health paints a grim picture for the island: 796 new cases in the last 24 hours, discovered through 7,732 swabs processed.
A number never reached before and that is even more burdened by the eight deaths registered between yesterday and today. All this while the number of healings does not contribute so much to straighten the bar: they were only 98 in the last hours. There are currently 8,540 positives on the island, of which 588 are hospitalized: this last item rises by 23 units compared to yesterday. The number of people admitted to intensive care also rises: yesterday there were 83, today there are 89.
The province with the highest increase in cases is Palermo: 351 infections have been discovered between yesterday and today. Catania (211) and Trapani (60) follow, then Ragusa (49), Messina (47), Caltanissetta (28), Siracusa (24), Agrigento (19) and Enna (7). In Palermo, meanwhile, the mayor Leoluca Orlando and the prefect Giuseppe Forlani they study an ordinance against pedestrian “parking” after 9pm on weekends. A gentle measure, which Palazzo delle Aquile hopes will be sufficient to prevent the escalation of infections.
