2021-07-21T06:44:21.760Z


The positivity rate drops to 1.6%, yesterday it was 2.3%. Intensive care and hospitalizations are increasing. The hypothesis for the revision of the parameters: threshold 5% of intensive care and 10% hospitalizations to go yellow. Hope: 'Vaccine essential even under 40' Governors ask the government to use the green pass to avoid closures (ANSA)


Leap of positive tests for Covid identified in the last 24 hours, they are 3,558 according to data from the Ministry of Health.

Yesterday there were 2,072. Instead, there are 10 victims in one day, while yesterday there were 7. There are 218,705 molecular and antigenic swabs for the coronavirus carried out in the last 24 hours in Italy, according to data from the Ministry of Health. Yesterday there were 89,089.

The positivity rate is 1.6%, down from 2.3% yesterday. Intensive care for Covid is on the rise, in addition to hospitalizations in ordinary wards. There are 165 patients in resuscitation for coronavirus in Italy.

The daily admissions, according to data from the Ministry of Health, are 11 (yesterday 16). The hospitalized with symptoms in the ordinary wards are 1,194, therefore 6 more than yesterday. The cases in Italy since the beginning of the epidemic are 4,293,083, the deaths 127,884. The discharged and healed are instead 4,115,889, with an increase of 1,760 compared to yesterday. Currently positive are 49,310, up 1,785 units in the last 24 hours.

We are moving towards an extension of the state of emergency for a long period, which could even reach the end of this year.

This is what emerges from government sources, a pre-council in progress, in view of the CDM on the new Covid decree that could be held tomorrow. Both the epidemiological situation and scheduled appointments such as the next local elections will be considered in the decision. The state of emergency expires on July 31 and the extension will be ordered by the new decree.

Meanwhile,

the control room and the Council of Ministers on the new Covid decree should be held on Thursday.

This is what emerges from various qualified government sources. The initial hypothesis was to convene the CDM for Wednesday but the discussions and work on the new decree would still be ongoing, so it is considered more likely that both meetings will take place on Thursday.

Use the green pass as a safe conduct to avoid closures outside the white zone.

This is the proposal that is learned from the environments of the Conference of the Regions which also met on the theme of the green pass. The governors are asking to introduce the obligation of access with the green pass to discos and large events only in order to allow, at least in the current phase, the reopening of these still closed activities.

The use of the pass for indoor restaurants and clubs would concern areas outside the white zone: a measure that, especially in autumn, would serve to avoid new closures.

Reduce the number of zones, from 4 to 3, with regard to the assignment of risk profiles, flexibility in the evaluation of parameters in small regions, set the minimum number of tests to be carried out every day at 150 swabs per hundred thousand inhabitants, consider the number of vaccinated in the Regions.

These are the proposals that emerged from the interventions of the various governors at the Conference of the Regions which was updated for tomorrow. It was also hoped not to fall below the threshold of 15% and 20% of maximum occupancy of the beds - respectively in intensive care and in ordinary wards - to remain in the white zone.

"The vaccine is essential even under the age of 40.

Our scientists strongly recommend it even under the age of 40 in the ranges authorized by regulatory agencies."


This is what the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza declared during the conference organized by Cittadinanzattiva / Forum Inequalities and Diversity on the theme: 'what reform for non self-sufficient elderly people and their families?'

You will go to the yellow zone if the occupancy of intensive care is greater than 5% of the available beds and if that of the ordinary wards exceeds 10%.

According to what is learned from various government and regional sources, this would be the hypothesis that is being worked on to review the monitoring parameters with which the color bands are attributed to the regions.

The threshold of 50% of vaccinated over 12 in Italy has been exceeded

- One in two Italians who can be vaccinated has completed the cycle with both doses. According to what emerges from the government report, updated at 17 today, the Italians immunized are 27,311,228, equal to 50.57% of the population over 12.
