After the new coronavirus cases in Sardinia recorded new increases for a month, now the contagion curve seems to flatten. To say this are the data of the Gimbe Foundation according to which between 26 January and 1 February there was a slightly improved performance for currently positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants (1,424 compared to 1,425 in the last survey) but with a more marked decrease in new infections (-22.4%) compared to the previous week.
The most critical area continues to be the central area of the island, with Nuorese having 1,067 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, while in Oristano there is a halving (from over one thousand to 579 per 100 thousand inhabitants). Cagliari followed with 379, Sassari with 341 and the province of South Sardinia with 328.
The beds occupied by Covid patients in the medical area (23.8%) and in intensive care (15.7%) are still above the saturation threshold and Sardinia will remain in the yellow zone for the next week.
