The RT falls below the 1 threshold after about a month. It had risen above the value considered “on guard” because when it is exceeded it means that the trend of the epidemic curve is upward, on 25 March. The figure observed by the control room of the Ministry of Health and the Higher Institute of Health is 0.96. And even if only slightly, the weekly incidence (calculated by observing the numbers for the period 15-21 April compared to those of the previous seven days) decreases from 717 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants to 675.
A little over a week from May 1st, when the Green Pass will no longer be used and, probably only in some cases, it will be possible to remove the masks indoors, the Higher Institute of Health also makes it known that the employment rate in therapy intensive is stable, with 4.2% of beds admitting Covid patients. There is a slight rise instead of that of hospitalizations in ordinary wards, which goes from 15.6 to 15.8%. “One Region is classified at” high “risk due to multiple resilience alerts. Six Regions are classified at” moderate “risk. The remaining Regions / are classified at” low “risk”. The situation is under control and even if the color zones no longer exist, the data would still classify all the Regions in white.
“The percentage of cases detected through the contact tracing activity – the experts always say – is stable, ie at 12%. Even the percentage of cases detected through the appearance of symptoms remains the same, at 41%, as well as the percentage of cases diagnosed through screening activities: 47% “.
