09:29, 18 August 2021
ROME. KAZINFORM Sardinia has surpassed the critical intensive care unit threshold of 10% occupancy, at 11%, and is thus set to turn from a low-risk white zone to a moderate risk yellow zone.
The figures were released by the AGENAS research group and refer to August 16, ANSA reports.
Sicily was steady at 9%, just below the threshold.
But Sicily has gone past the 15% threshold for non-critical ward occupancy, to 16%, for the first time.
This is another factor in deciding whether to bump a region up from one colour to another.
Calabria also rose 1%, to 14%.
