Data for Monday 27 December. The positivity rate + 8.9% with 343,968 swabs. Admissions: +503. Intensive care: +37
I am 30,810
the new cases of coronavirus in Italy (yesterday there were 24,883, here the bulletin). It goes up like this at least 5,678,112
the number of people who have contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus (including recovered and died) since the outbreak began. THE deaths today I am 142
(yesterday there were 81), for a total of 136,753 victims from February 2020.
People recovered or discharged they are altogether 5.003.855 And 9.992 those that came out of the Covid nightmare today (8,428 yesterday). The positive current – the subjects who have the virus – turn out to be in everything 537.504, equal to +20.665 compared to yesterday (+16,373 the day before).
The swabs and the scenario
THE total swabs (molecular and antigenic) were 343.968, or 126,916 more than yesterday when it was 217,052. While the rate of positivity 8.9% (the approximation of 8.95%); yesterday it was 11.5%. Here is the map of the contagion in Italy.
More infections in 24 hours than yesterday. Typically, the curve hits the low point of its weekly swing on Monday, but with last week’s holidays, the low occurred yesterday due to fewer buffers. The trend of the curve remains uphill, as shown by the comparison with last Monday when they were recorded +16,213 cases with a rate of 4.8%: today, in fact, there are more new infections than that day with a higher percentage (8.9% versus 4.8%). From 10 January, the school will be back in attendance. It is likely that in the next few days we will reach 100,000 infections a day, but if not everyone goes to the hospital, I don’t see a big problem for school, said Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri on Sky Tg24. Adding: it is also likely that the Omicron variant is already over 50-60% in Italy.
The health system
Hospital stays are increasing in every area. The beds occupied in ordinary Covid wards I am +503 (yesterday +328), for a total of 9,723 hospitalized. The beds occupied in intensive care (TI) are +37 (yesterday +18) – this is the balance between the people who left and those who entered ICU -, bringing the total of the most seriously ill patients to 1.126, with 100 admissions to resuscitation (yesterday 85).
Comparison with a year ago
A year ago, on December 27, 2020 – the day the vaccination campaign started – the situation of hospitals and victims was very different: with 8,913 new cases there were 298 deaths (today 142), while in Covid wards there were 23,571 hospitalized (now less than 10 thousand) and 2,580 patients in intensive care (now less than half). It is impossible to make a comparison between the percentages of positives, as on January 15, 2021 this parameter changed with the introduction of antigen tests in the calculation.
