The updated situation in Italy and in the world
The decline in the epidemic curve in Italy continues. There are 1,325 new cases, against 1,400 yesterday, and above all 2,089 last Thursday. Total infections thus rise to 4,249,755.
The swabs carried out were 200,315, about 3 thousand less than yesterday, but the positivity rate remains stable at 0.7% compared to yesterday.
The deaths are 37 (yesterday 52), for a total of 127,190 victims since the beginning of the epidemic.
The pressure on health facilities is still easing: intensive care is 27 fewer (yesterday -33) with 15 admissions a day, and down to 444, while ordinary hospitalizations are 176 fewer (yesterday -269), 2,888 in total. 4,533 people have recovered in the last 24 hours in Italy, 4,023,957 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The region with the most cases today is Lombardy (+232), followed by Sicily (+228), Campania (+131), Lazio (+119) and Puglia (+90).
This is what emerges from the daily bulletin of the Ministry of Health.
Active sick in Italy under 100 thousand, as in October
98,608 Covid patients are still active in Italy, out of the more than 4.2 million total infections since the beginning of the epidemic. The number of currently positive, with today's data (-3.247) therefore falls below one hundred thousand, for the first time since October 15, 2020. We were in the growth phase of the second wave that would have led, on November 22, to a peak with 805 thousand active patients. Also in spring, in April, with the third wave, the new surge had led to the peak of over 560,000 currently positive. Last summer, that of the momentary truce, the figure had dropped to 12,000 patients still active.
