The weekly incidence of Covid cases in Italy is still decreasing at national level and is 533 per 100,000 inhabitants (29/07/2022 -04/08/2022) compared to 727 per 100,000 inhabitants (22/07/2022 -28 / 07/2022).
This is indicated by the weekly monitoring at the control room examination.
The mean Rt
calculated on symptomatic cases was also down, which was equal to 0.90 (range 0.82-1.06), a decrease compared to the previous week when it touched 1.03.
The transmissibility index based on cases with hospitalization is also decreasing and
below the epidemic threshold
: Rt 0.82 (0.80-0.84) at 07/26/2022 compared to Rt 0.95 at 07/19/2022 .
The Covid contagiousness index, the RT,
was not so low since June 17
, when it was recorded at 0.83.
The intensive care employment rate was down
to 3.6% on August 4 compared to 4.1% on July 28.
The employment rate in medical areas nationwide drops to 15.2% against 17.0% in the same reference periods.
The percentage of cases detected through the contact tracing activity - underlines the higher health institute in the usual weekly monitoring - is stable compared to the previous week (12% against 12%).
There was a slight increase in the percentage of cases detected through the appearance of symptoms (44% versus 43%), and a slight decrease in the percentage of cases diagnosed through screening activities (44% versus 46%).
The current situation characterized by high incidence does not allow a precise mapping of the contacts of the cases, as evidenced by the low percentage of cases detected through the tracing activity.
