Hope: “All of Italy yellow zone, continue on this path”

All Italy yellow zone. Health Minister Roberto Speranza announced it on Facebook. “With today’s monitoring and consequent ordinances – he writes – Italy will all be in the yellow area. It is the result of the measures adopted so far, the correct behavior of the vast majority of people and the vaccination campaign. We continue on this path with trust, prudence and gradualness “, underlines the minister. In fact, the country’s Rt index still falls, now at 0.78. Last week it was 0.86. This is what Adnkronos Health learns from the meeting of the control room of the Higher Institute of Health-Ministry of Health on infections from Covid 19. “This week the decline in incidence accelerates again”, equal to “73 per 100 thousand inhabitants (10- 16 May) vs 103 per 100 thousand (3-9 May), data from the ISS flow “, what emerges from the draft of the ISS-Ministry of Health report on the monitoring of Covid data for the week from 10 to 16 May. The incidence figure from the Ministry of Health flow is 66/100 thousand, compared to 96/100 thousand last week. All Regions and Autonomous Provinces “have an average Rt of less than 1, and therefore a transmissibility compatible with a type 1 scenario “. They are therefore “classified as low risk”, the draft still points out. This week, moreover, “no Region or Autonomous Province exceeds the critical occupancy threshold for ICU beds or medical areas”. “The employment rate in intensive care is below the critical threshold (19%), with a decrease in number of people hospitalized which goes from 2,056 (May 11) to 1,689 (May 18). The employment rate in medical areas nationwide drops further (19%). The number of people hospitalized in these areas goes from 14,937 (May 11) ) to 11,539 (May 18) “, highlights the document.
