(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 21 - The national weekly incidence has stabilized while the Rt transmissibility index decreases.
The incidence is equal to 2011 per 100,000 inhabitants (14/01 / 2022-20 / 01/2022) compared to 1988 per 100,000 inhabitants (07/01 / 2022-13 / 01/2022) last week. In the period 22 December 2021 - 4 January 2022, the mean Rt calculated on symptomatic cases was equal to 1.31 (range 1.00 - 1.83), a decrease compared to the previous week, when it was equal to 1.56. However, various Regions have had problems sending data and there could be an underestimation. The monitoring ISS-Ministry of Health highlights this.
On the other hand, the employment rate in intensive care remains stable: it stands at 17.3% (daily survey by the Minister of Health on 20 January) compared to 17.5% of the survey on 13 January.
The employment rate in medical areas at national level rises to 31.6% (daily survey by the Ministry of Health on 13 January) against 27.1% on 13 January.
