The Romana Umberto I Clinic is also full and the Cotugno Hospital in Naples cannot receive any more infections.

Sergio Hariri, professor of pulmonology at the San Giuseppe Hospital in Milan, highlighted the slow increase in the number of patients admitted to the intensive care unit. He explained that compared to the start of the epidemic in the spring, patients are now hospitalized faster and doctors are also responding faster because they already know what to do.
