Measures to be consolidated and possibly extended and strengthened with a sort of lockdown for the entire Christmas period.
According to what is learned, this is what the CTS experts would have said in the meeting with Prime Minister Conte and with the heads of delegation.
The need for a new tightening, was explained by the technicians, is linked to the impossibility on the one hand of a capillary control of the territory and on the other hand to data that are still "worrying", with an incidence of new cases still too high (in last monitoring was 193 per 100 thousand inhabitants, when it should be 50 per 100 thousand in order to guarantee tracking).
Italy, the experts of the Scientific Technical Committee note, also has a daily death toll that exceeds that of Germany - which however has 20 million more inhabitants -, and over half of the country with health facilities still under stress.
Therefore, it is the conclusion, "we need to extend the measures, otherwise we will be in trouble in January".
The decline in mortality slows down in the last week of November
- After the decline of the previous weeks, from 25 November to 1 December the mortality from Covid in Italy remains stable or slightly increasing in the northern cities (Venice, Verona, Padua), and a slight decrease in the center-south.
Compared to the previous week there was a drop in the excess mortality in Rome (+ 47% compared to 60% on November 18-24) and Palermo (48% compared to 59% on November 18-24).
In Genoa (+ 76%), Turin (+ 112%) and Milan (+ 45%) the excess mortality from 25 November to 1 December is in line with the values of the previous week.
This is indicated by the monitoring 'Trend of daily mortality in Italian cities in relation to the Covid-19 epidemic from 1 September to 1 December 2020' published by the Ministry of Health.
