16,424 new cases and 318 deaths – Corriere.it

I’m 16,424 new cases of coronavirus in Italy (yesterday it was +13.314, here the bulletin). Salt so at least 2.848.564 the number of people who have contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus (including recovered and died) since the outbreak began. THE deaths today I’m 318 (yesterday they were +356), for a total of 96,666 victims from February 2020. While the people recovered or discharged I’m 2.362.465 overall: 14.599 those that came out of the Covid nightmare today (+12,898 yesterday). He positive current – the subjects who have the virus – turn out to be in everything 389.433, equal to +1.485 compared to yesterday (+45 the day before).

The swabs and the scenario

I total swabs (molecular and antigenic) were 340.247, or 36,397 more than yesterday when it was 303,850. The rate of positivity 4,8% (the approximation of 4.82%): it means that out of 100 swabs performed more than 4 were positive; yesterday it was 4.4%. who the map of the contagion in Italy.


More infections in 24 hours than yesterday, with record in tamponi since the rapid were added (exceeded the previous record of over 310 thousand dated February 10). The case / test ratio rises to 4.8% from 4.4% on Tuesday. The threshold of 16 thousand daily infections had not been exceeded for over a month, the last time beyond this value of 16 thousand was the January 16 (with 6.3% rate). That doesn’t seem like a good sign. The curve goes up, as it usually happens in the middle of the week, taking up its swing again. But from the comparison with the same day last week, Wednesday 17 February, when +12,074 cases were communicated with a rate of 4.1%, we see that the scenario is not improving. In fact, it is not possible to have and keep the percentage of positivity below 4%. Without considering that tracking is impossible. There are no conditions to relax the measures, says the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza in the Senate. There are fears that the variants may prevail over the virus now circulating. The models tell us that by mid-March the risk that all cases are linked to the English variant – explains the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, Irccs Galeazzi medical director of Milan -. We hope that more targeted red zone actions can mitigate the spread. While globally the WHO reports that the infected in the world, in the last seven days, have been decreasing for the sixth consecutive week (with the world death curve marking -20%).

To communicate over 3 thousand daily infections the Lombardy (+3,310 cases, of which +901 in Brescia) but thanks to more than 50,000 swabs, which is the highest number of regional tests of the day (here the bulletin). It follows above 2 thousand the Campania (+2.185). Then there are Piedmont (+1.453), Emilia Romagna (+1.427) e Lazio (+1.188). All other regions show a two- or three-digit increase. Note the Puglia, just under a thousand (+991).
