Italy: The cases of coronavirus are 100 times more than the corresponding period of 2021

“Coronavirus cases in Italy, in this first week of July, were a hundred times more than in the corresponding period last year,” Enrico Coccioni, president of the Italian Regional Health Infrastructure Service, said tonight. Cosioni stressed, at the same time, that “the pressure of the new wave of coronavirus is increasing in the hospitals of the whole country” and that “the emergency departments are ready to explode”.

At the same time, the head of Italy’s regional health infrastructure has asked all of the country’s local governments to increase, once again, the beds for patients with Covid-19, both in hospital wards and in intensive care units.

Today in Italy 107,240 cases of coronavirus were registered and 94 people died. 13% of hospital beds are used to treat patients with coronavirus, while in ICUs the corresponding percentage is 4%. Last year, at the beginning of July, in ICUs and hospital wards, patients with Covid-19 did not exceed 2% of the total. Finally, in a total of 378,250 diagnostic tests, 28.3% were positive in the last twenty-four hours.
