Covid risk increasing in Sicily and Sardinia

Sicily and Sardinia risk turning from low COVID risk white to moderate risk yellow after the two island regions reported ICU and hospital admissions over the thresholds of 10% and 15%.

If they do turn yellow Friday, effective from Monday, they will be the only Italian regions that are not white.
Sardinia’s ICU occupancy rate has risen to 12%, the AGENAS health group said, above the 10% threshold at which regions turn colour.

Sicily, on the other hand, has a 20% occupancy rate in general wards, above the 15% threshold.
However, both regions were on or above the thresholds last week and ended up not being turned yellow.
