October 25, 2021 The "Austrian model" indicated as a reference, and the concern for the growth of hospitalizations: this is how the South Tyrolean regional councilor for health has launched - for now a possibility - the idea of ​​introducing restrictions only for unvaccinated people. 



The councilor Thomas Widmann also contemplates the lockdown in the province of Bolzano: "We cannot risk a new pandemic crisis for those who do not get vaccinated, the numbers speak for themselves, those who end up in hospital are always unvaccinated". 



South Tyrol could therefore apply what is happening in neighboring Austria, where the measure would be introduced only if the beds in intensive care exceed 30% of the total capacity (or 600 hospitalized). 



Covid, in Alto Adige 43 new cases and hospitalizations on the rise 


And in the region there is attention to the increase in Covid patients: compared to yesterday, new hospitalizations are 7, 6 more in normal wards - for a total of 44 - and one in intensive care where 6 beds are occupied. No deaths. Tomorrow the provincial government could take decisions to contain the epidemic. In the province of Bolzano there are 43 new cases of Covid out of 5,413 swabs processed yesterday. 23% of the new positives concern people between 20 and 29 years, 21% between 50 and 59. People in quarantine are also growing, almost 500 more than seven days ago.



Sebastiani (CNR): "All the curves of the epidemic at national level are growing"


According to the analysis of the mathematician Giovanni Sebastiani, of the Institute for Calculus Applications "M.Picone" (CNR): "All the curves of the epidemic at national level are growing, from the percentage of positives to molecular tests to the incidence of positives total to molecular tests and rapid antigenics, up to daily admissions to intensive care ".

The data collected by the scientist indicate a growth trend for the curve of hospitalizations in ordinary wards in the province of Bolzano (occupancy level 7.5%), Friuli Venezia Giulia (4%), Lazio (5%) and Molise (3 %).
