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.
