The consequences of any imprudent behavior held on the occasion of the New Year will be seen in a few days. Compared to the peak of 31 December recorded in Sardinia, the new cases of coronavirus yesterday were 543 ( HERE THE COMPLETE BULLETIN ), with also one victim, but hospitalizations are growing.
“Unfortunately - underlines Ferdinando Coghe, medical director of the Aou of Cagliari - the idea that everything had been resolved has passed, so there was a generalized attitude of scarce attention towards the recommendations made several times. And each recommendation was taken as a limitation of individual freedom, something coercive. We only asked to tighten up on the large street demonstrations, and the people celebrated in any case without taking precautions ”.
If the hospitalized are not in serious condition, as happened in the past, “it is thanks to the vaccine - continues Coghe -, also because at the moment Omicron has a fairly small share, 24%, in southern Sardinia. 75% are still affected by Delta, which was once lethal, now it is much less so, thanks to vaccines ".
In various regions there are already the first signs of new restrictions: if the current trend is confirmed, from next Friday Tuscany and Umbria will be declared yellow, while Liguria will be orange, the same color that could also touch Piedmont in about ten days and in the Marche in just under three weeks.
