November 14, 2020The Rt index drops and we are on the fourth day in a row with a drop in intensive care.

This was stated by the President of the Superior Council of Health,

Franco Locatelli

and the Director General of Prevention of the Ministry of Health,

Gianni Rezza

, in the press conference on the analysis of the data of the Monitoring of the Regions of the Control Room (Ministerial Decree of 30 April 2020) and on the epidemiological situation.



Intensive care had grown by 60 units yesterday 89 the day before, 110 three days ago and 122 four days ago.

"We are beginning to see in a clear and unequivocal way a deceleration that must be motivating to go in the direction of succeeding with the contribution of all to make the epidemic curve bend", observed Locatelli and Rezza.



"After Rt, which peaked in August, there was a decline and then from October it went up again", said the president of the Higher Institute of Health

Silvio Brusaferro

in the press conference on the analysis of the data of the Regional Monitoring of the Control room and on the epidemiological situation.

"Last week - he added - we noticed a slowdown of the curve and this week there is a slight remission of the Rt, which however does not yet translate into a decline in the curve because the number of cases is still significant".



"The median age of coronavirus cases is slowly growing," said Brusaferro.



"Employment curves in the medical and intensive care area are increasing and the limit thresholds are being reached, but we must also consider the beds that can be activated in the country and are already being prepared", said the president of the Higher Institute of Health.

For Brusaferro, the measures to contain the pandemic are working, but we must not let our guard down.



"Employment curves in the medical and intensive care area are increasing and the limits are being reached but we must also consider the beds that can be activated in the country and are already being prepared", said Brusaferro.
