“The cases of coronavirus in Italy, in this first week of July, were a hundred times more than in the corresponding period last year“, said Enrico Coccioni, president of the Italian Regional Health Infrastructure Service, this evening.
Cosioni emphasized, at the same time, that “the pressure of the new wave of coronavirus is increasing in the hospitals of the whole country” and that “emergency departments are ready to explode.”
At the same time, according to the Athens News Agency, the person in charge 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 the hospital wards and in the units intensive care.
Today in Italy 107,240 were recorded cases of coronavirus and 94 people lost their lives. 13% of hospital beds are used to treat coronavirus patients, 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.
