TORINO Piedmont: epidemic diminished, at least for now. The R0 contagion rate is at 0.5, but woe to let your guard down, even if the terrifying figures for February, March and April seem to be behind you. It seems like an eternity has passed compared to what happened just a few weeks ago. This is the good news that emerged from the press conference held this morning at the Regional Crisis Unit.
In the hood
Even so, and even without knowing what the effects of the first reopens will be, the Region, thanks to the contribution of consultants in the field, has equipped itself with a sophisticated monitoring system based on four levels, each of which corresponds to containment measures. Strictly speaking, it is the new line, infection tracking with the use of family doctors, today 80% of cases (the figure is the European average) occur in homes and attention is paid to possible outbreaks in communities, such as RSA.
The hospital network
Meanwhile, the hospital system is being reorganized for Phase 2 and Phase 3, with reference to the new epidemic wave expected in the fall: on the first front, it is about guaranteeing coexistence between Covid and non-Covid patients, the latter is recovered, on the basis of differentiated routes; in the second, it is necessary to study how to create a group of intensive and sub-intensive care beds that can be activated immediately in case of need and permanent hospitals dedicated to positive patients, Covid Hospitals. All in line with the new indications from the government.
