Eight regions are using intensive care beds that should be dedicated to non-covid-19 patients. This is what emerged from the 26th issue of the Instant Report Covid-19 of the High School of Economics and Management of Health Systems (Altems) of the Universita Cattolica, which makes a systematic comparison of the trend in the diffusion of Sars-Cov-2 at a national level.
The Regions mentioned by the report are Umbria, Lombardy, Marche, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo, Calabria and Campania. In particular Umbria is using more than 40% of its structural allocation of intensive care beds, Lombardy 16%, Marche 12%, Tuscany 11.66%, Emilia-Romagna 8%, Abruzzo 4% and Calabria just under 2%.
