In the last week, the percentage of reinfections out of the total Covid cases reported in Italy was 4.4%, an increase compared to the previous week in which the percentage was 4.1%.
This is highlighted by the extended report of the Higher Institute of Health, which integrates the weekly monitoring.

of which 17,037 hospitalized, 380 hospitalized in intensive care and 53 dead.
The extended report of the Higher Institute of Health highlights this, underlining that this week the percentage of cases reported in the school-age population (21%) is decreasing compared to the rest of the population.
In the last week, 17% of school-age cases were diagnosed in children under 5, 43% in the age group 5-11, 39% in the age group 12-19.
