Virus, curves lower and lower in Sardinia: -40% of weekly infections, pressure on hospitals is easing
67.5% of Sardinians have completed the vaccination cycle, a campaign driven by young people
The epidemiological curve data is still showing a clear improvement, which continues to decline from week to week in Sardinia.
This is what emerges from the monitoring of the Gimbe Foundation.
The new cases from 8 to 14 September are down by 40.3% compared to those of the previous week. Currently positive people are 290 per 100 thousand inhabitants, up from 390 in the previous week.
The pressure on hospitals is also decreasing. The number of beds occupied in intensive care is still above the threshold, which however fell from 15% to 11%. Below the threshold, and still decreasing, those in the medical area, which went from 14% to 13%.
In almost all the provinces the new weekly cases are almost halved: in the Metropolitan City of Cagliari it goes from 115 to 70, in Southern Sardinia from 110 to 61, in Oristano from 97 to 45 and in Sassari from 67 to 37. The figure for province of Nuoro, where the decline is very slight, from 60 to 58 weekly cases.
VACCINES - 67.5% of Sardinians, against 68% of Italians, have completed the vaccination cycle, while there is a further 8.4% (Italy average 6.1%) who received only the first dose.
Those over 50 who have not received any vaccine dose represent 11.4% against 11.1% in Italy.
Instead, confirmation arrives that the population of 12-19 years is driving the vaccination campaign in this phase: in Sardinia the very young people who have not received any vaccine dose are equal to 25.5%, while in the rest of the country the figure is stands at 33.7%.
THE NATIONAL REPORT - The national data are also positive: from deaths to infections, the week 8-14 September, compared to the previous one, saw all the numbers down.
New cases drop by 14.7% (33,712 compared to 39,511), deaths by 6.7% (389 compared to 417), people in home isolation by 8.8% (117,621 compared to 128,917), by 3, 3% hospitalizations with symptoms (4,165 compared to 4,307) and intensive care by 1.6% (554 compared to 563).
In hospitals, the Foundation emphasizes, there are "almost exclusively unvaccinated people".
