COVID-19 intensive care cases are up
in five regions, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli, Piedmont, Sardinia and
Sicily, the AGENAS health group said Tuesday.
In Sardinia and Sicily the ICU occupnacy rate has reached 13%,
3% above the critical threshold of 10% at which regions turn
colour in the COVID-risk assessment colour-coded system that
Italy uses.
Sicily already turned to moderate risk yellow on Monday,
becoming the only Italian region that is not low risk white.
As for the occupancy rate in general wards, AGENAS said it was
up in four regions: Abruzzo, Calabria, Campania, and Sicily.
In Calabria it was 17% and in Sicily 23%, well above the
critical colour-changing threshold of 15% for general
hospitalisations with COVID.
