The independent monitoring of the Gimbe Foundation detects in the week 18-24 August 2021, compared to the previous one, an increase in new cases (45,251 vs 43,365) and deaths (345 vs 237). Currently positive cases are also increasing (135,325 vs 129,116), people in home isolation (130,785 vs 125,221), hospitalizations with symptoms (4,036 vs 3,472) and intensive care (504 vs 423).
“The new weekly cases – declares Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation – after the stabilization of last week, show a slight increase also visible in the moving average of daily cases, while remaining underestimated by the insufficient testing activity and the limited activity of contact tracking “.
