Covid Italy, hospitalized decline consolidates: -16.3% in one week

The Covid hospitalization curve in Italian hospitals continues to descend. “The downward trend seems to have consolidated for over a month: for the fifth consecutive week, in fact, the number of patients hospitalized in Covid areas, both in ordinary wards and in intensive care, decreases by 16.3%”. This is what emerges from the report of the sentinel hospitals of Fiaso, the Italian Federation of health and hospital companies, of 8 June. In the ordinary Covid wards the weekly reduction “stands at 15.9%. In resuscitation, the figure is even more significant: the number of hospitalized patients drops by 24.2% and there is an increase in no vax patients, which are now 40 % of those occupying a bed in intensive care – continues Fiaso – While the vast majority of vaccinated subjects finished in resuscitation appear to have received the administration of the vaccine for over 4 months and, despite suffering from other pathologies, did not take the booster dose “. As regards pediatric patients,” a total of 28 patients under the age of 18 hospitalized in the four pediatric hospitals and in the pediatric wards “of the hospitals belonging to the Fiaso sentinel network. Among these, “two children hospitalized in intensive care with Covid and three cases of Mis-C”, the multisystem inflammatory syndrome. “The situation shows an increase compared to last week (+12 cases) even if the numbers remain low”, concludes the report.
