Monza (but not only) calls and Brescia answers. In fact, long before the heartfelt appeals of the mayor of the city of Brianza, Dario Allevi, circulated on the web.
“The leaders of San Gerardo confirm that at these rates our hospital runs the risk of soon reaching a saturation point: it is necessary for neighboring territories to lend us a hand, just as we did with them during the first months of the epidemic – The Mayor of Monza wrote on Facebook, again last Thursday: Yes, because it is clear that we will come out before this emergency only if we are cohesive and there will be mutual help also on the health front ”.
30% of Covid patients come from Monza and Milan
But solidarity, at least in the hospital setting, has never been questioned. Il Civile di Brescia, the regional reference center for the management of the Covid emergency, like other hospitals in Bresciano, has been welcoming patients from the Lombard provinces most affected by the second wave of coronavirus for months. There is more: around 30% of Covid patients currently hospitalized in Bresciano hospitals (less than 600 in total), both in intensive care and in other departments, come from the provinces of Monza and Brianza and Milan.
On Sunday, in an interview with Corriere della SeraThe mayor of Monza had reiterated the request, noting that he had not received concrete responses, also underlining how last March Saint Gerard of Monza had immediately converted to host patients in Brescia, Bergamo and Cremona.
Sant’Anna’s Covid resuscitation reopens
However, something has moved, even in the last hours: on Sunday the first 5 patients were transferred from the intensive care unit of San Gerardo in Monza to that of the Sant’Anna Clinical Institute in Brescia. The Covid resuscitation department of the city hospital, which is part of the San Donato Group, has reopened its doors precisely to house some of the most serious cases of the Brianza hospital.
Not only that: the regional emergency urgency company (Soreu) has already taken steps to ensure that Brescia’s basic emergency vehicles are ready to transport Covid patients from Milan to Brescia’s “radial” hospitals.
