Coronavirus – Italy: The fourth wave has begun, the pressure on hospitals is clearly limited

The manifestation of the fourth wave of the pandemic was announced today by Italy. “The virus is circulating more than the official data can record. The country has, in fact, entered the fourth wave of coronavirus “, said among others the president of the Italian research institute Gimbe Nino Cartabelota.

According to the Athenian Macedonian News Agency, on last week, all data show an upward trend: the new incidents are 31,963, compared to 19,390 of the previous one. The deaths were 111 against 76. And the citizens who were diagnosed positive are 70,310, while from 15 to 21 July it was 49,310.

Coronavirus patients in the country’s ICUs increased by 14.5% and hospital admissions by 34.9%.

At the same time, however, the Gimbe Foundation emphasizes that the pressure on hospitals is still clearly limited. Only 2% of patients in intensive care units have been infected with coronavirus, an increase of 3% in all hospital beds.

The largest increase in cases is recorded on the two major islands of Italy: in the cities of Caltanisseta and Ragusa in Sicily and in Cagliari in Sardinia.
