“There are no low-risk regions, theEmilia-Romagna is in the yellow zone, which has a moderate risk, but we cannot think that it will last forever, it depends on the epidemiological trend. “This was stated by the regional health advisor Raffaele Donini, who illustrated the scenario of covid infections in Emilia-Romagna live from the Policlinico di Modena together with Professor Cristina Mussini, director of the complex structure of infectious diseases at the University Hospital of Modena.
Donini highlights the high number of deaths registered in the last 24 hours, 40: “A significant and worrying figure, the average age is 83 years, there is a disparity between the age of the deceased and that of the infected people that 43.8 years. I am describing a very serious situation, both nationally and regionally, so regardless of the color entrusted to us, we must lower the epidemic curve, the more positive we find, the more they increase, the more hospitalizations in intensive care and deaths increase . “.
Coronavirus Emilia-Romagna, the bulletin: infections and deaths in slight decrease
“After the free all summer, the virus has circulated a lot in the young population, obviously the problem is worse in the elderly, but we are not talking about more than eighty, not even for those born in the 50s and 60s, maybe even in the 70s, the school has also strengthened family outbreaks. We recommend that students wear face masks, even when sitting at the desk, but while at school they have worked hard for classroom safety, the situation gets worse when students go out, so keep social distance in and out of schools “Mussini said.
The numbers in residential homes and schools
Of 1,428 nursing homes, in 101 there is at least one positive. There are currently 804 positive patients, with a high rate of fatality, diffusion and hospitalizations.
Regarding the school, the cases in the last week are 1,000 more, for a total of 3,034 positives, 341 among staff and teachers and 2,610 students, more than a third from secondary and high school.
“Help us, the structures are already in serious difficulties”
“We arrive here with respiratory difficulties, but the patients are not compromised as in March. Although for economic reasons and for the mood of the population it is fair that there is no talk of confinement for the moment, our facilities are in serious difficulties. Help us We keep our distance and stay at home as much as possible – Mussini recommends – we – the toilets – are the stone that springs from the sea, but we have to collaborate, we have seen the number of deaths, there are and they are horrible ”.
“There is no zero risk, there is a concern that has led the government to tighten the measures, the yellow zone – warns the commissioner – is not forever, but depends on the epidemiological trend. The number of hospitalizations in intensive care, 167 in the region, would not be particularly problematic, but instead the number of hospitalized patients, 1,673 ”.
As of today in Emilia-Romagna there are a million quick swabs: “The quick swab looks for the antigen, the molecule on the surface of the virus, and is very sensitive, like the classic swab, so it is not possible to peck to the asymptomatic and paucisymptomatic “.
Donini recalls that a complementary agreement has been signed with general practitioners: “We will make our offices and health centers available, we will provide them with pulse oximeters, so that they can perform quick swabs in close contacts and allow them to take care of patients.”
Vaccino, Astra Zeneca’s Oxford studio
Emilia-Romagna will also participate in the testing of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. It will do so with the University Hospital of Modena: “It was presented today at Aifa – the Italian Medicines Agency – it was necessary to find 300 volunteers in a month – explains Mussini – we are a University Hospital so we have antibodies available. monoclonal, the new immunomodulator, in short, we are in the first line of treatment. My mantra is that there should be no disparity between hospitalized patients in the periphery or in the university center.
