Official: Sardinia will enter the yellow zone from Monday 24 January.
The ratification of the color change was communicated by the Ministry of Health to the Sardinia Region.
The decision was made after the surge in hospital admissions on the island recorded in the last week. The occupation of beds in the medical area by Covid patients has in fact exceeded the alert threshold of 15% in the last two days, as certified by the institutional website of Agenas (16% on January 19 and 17% yesterday).
The limit of 10% of Covid ICU beds had already been exceeded since December 6 and is now expected to reach 15%. The incidence of cases has also been above 50 per 100 thousand inhabitants for some time.
According to the latest bulletin issued by the Region ( READ ), patients admitted to intensive care units in Sardinia are currently 30, while patients admitted to the medical area are a total of 269.
