COVID-19 hospital admissions up 15% in 7 days - FIASO

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 7 - COVID-19 hospital admissions have risen for the third consecutive week in Italy, with a 15% increase in cases in both intensive care and in ordinary hospital wards in seven days, the FIASO federation of hospital and health agencies said on Wednesday.
    It said that 68% of patients admitted to ordinary wards were 'with COVID', meaning they were admitted for another problem but found to have the coronavirus after a test.
    The federation added, however, that in 84% of the intensive-care cases the patient was taken in specifically because of COVID.
    It said 28% of them were anti-vaxxers. (ANSA).
