"The curve in Italy has reached a plateau while in the other countries there is a regrowth. There is a slow decrease in Italy and the majority of the regions are decreasing by the incidence, however there are still some growing regions".
Thus the president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Silvio Brusaferro, at the press conference on the analysis of the control room monitoring data organized by the Ministry of Health.
We expect to start decreasing deaths
The level of employment in intensive care "is stabilizing at around 41% and we have therefore essentially reached a plateau, as well as for medical areas. In general, first Rt moves, then incidence and hospitalizations and lastly the data on mortality are moving. Fifteen we are waiting for deaths to decrease too ".
Brusaferro explained.
Average age under 50. Asymptomatics are growing
"There is a decrease in cases in the general population. The average age of cases always remains below 50 years and asymptomatics are increasing. The decrease in cases is involving all age groups , including young people, taking into account the closure of schools ".
Services still overloaded, contain contagions
"Rt is decreasing but 8 regions have it above 1, while intensive care is stabilizing at 41% occupancy but always above the alert threshold of 30% and there is a overload of health services. Even the incidence is always high and there are a lot of variants. So every useful measure must be adopted to contain the infection "concluded Brusaferro.
