A causa di alcune problematiche correlate al sistema di sorveglianza, non è possibile una corretta valutazione epidemiologica dell’andamento della malattie in tempo reale. Infatti, i casi che si aggiungono ogni settimana al totale non sono solo i casi effettivamente insorti, ma anche i casi che, per diversi fattori, sono stati inseriti in ritardo, nell’ultima settimana, ma che si riferiscono a persone che hanno manifestato i sintomi nelle settimane precedenti.
These are the main data reported in the infographic n. 22, from 14 to 20 August 2017:
- 4.220 casi e 3 decessi dall’inizio dell’anno
- 88% not vaccinated
- 7% vaccinated with just 1 dose
- 34% at least one complication
- 42% hospitalized
- 22% in the emergency room
- 283 cases among healthcare workers
- Median age 27 years old
