Fewer infections but more hospitalizations in ASL 5. The start of the lessons is still in doubt. Possible new restrictions. Prosecutor opens investigation for guilty epidemic
Genoa – Suspension of all events or meetings, in public or private places. Restaurants, bars and pubs open, but only with table service, reserved for members of the same family (or relatives), respecting the distance of one meter between one client and another. Stop for visits to social and health establishments, except for extraordinary needs. Prohibition of the use of games for children, in gardens and villas, limited number of public transport, with only 100% usable seats. A mini lock, to prevent the situation from getting worse. This is the plan that the Region is evaluating, according to the La Spezia City Council, where the vast majority of cases are concentrated, to stop the recent wave of infections.
None of these steps were taken yesterday, even from the latest data, which is partly reassuring. “We have 26 new cases in La Spezia – explained the president of the Region, Giovanni Toti – they are less than the day before. The most sensitive data continues to be that of hospital admissions ”. Yesterday there were 96 hospitalized patients throughout Liguria, with a decisive contribution from the La Spezia area: 64, with 10 more patients than the day before yesterday (19 in Liguria) and 6 in intensive care. Positive cases in Liguria have increased until 1951, with 64 newly infected. “We are thinking of several possible measures,” added the governor. Among these, the prince could be the failure to reopen schools, only in the province of La Spezia, as a precaution. «It is one of the initiatives that we are evaluating but we do not have, I repeat no we, neither as a Shire nor as mayor, have made any decision in this regard.
In the meantime the La Spezia Prosecutor has opened an investigation about the boom in infections. The objective is to reconstruct the chain of events that led, in the space of a week, to the number of positives soaring to 452. The attorney general Antonio Patrono and the alternate Elisa Loris, who hypothesize the crime of a culpable epidemic that by Now it involves strangers, they have delegated the investigation to the Financial Police, which must map all the contagions found. The researchers will also take stock of hospitalized patients, trying to clarify any links with matches or other aggregation events where anti-Covid regulations have not been observed: first, use of masks and respect for social distance.
The situation in La Spezia is the only one that worries. And it’s the only one you’re considering a more structured plan for. The regional working group coordinated by Alisa, after analyzing the trend of infections, suggested tightening the shirts, after the limitations introduced in recent days – that is, the obligation to wear a mask for 24 hours and silence the night at night – was the regional work group coordinated by Alisa, after analyzing the trend of infections. What is worrying is the incidence of cases in relation to the population, as well as the severity of the symptoms, which, after months, have put pressure on the hospitals: Sant’Andrea della Spezia and San Bartolomeo di Sarzana.
The goal of epidemiologists is as always break the chain of contagion, which now scores the entire province and in some cases has patients who are not connected to each other. Because while it is true that a root was found to the multiplication of cases following the movements of some citizens of foreign origin who moved between Liguria and Tuscany, where they participated in some meetings and common occasions, it is equally true that not all the positive aspects they are explainable with this matrix. This indicator is also observed with great attention, because it reveals the existence of an indigenous chain. It was precisely this circumstance, after the identification of more circumscribed clusters – the first was that of the two hotels in Loano, at the end of February – that preceded the spring boom.
The answer can only be similar, albeit softer, because it lives up to a situation that is far less alarming now than it was last spring. The additional step suggested by the technicians is so far only a hypothesis. The last word is from politics and the president of the Region Giovanni Toti, who has already revealed the desire not to tighten the shirts more than necessary.
From this point of view, the next days will be decisive. And nothing similar is in sight for the rest of the territories, which in fact, as explained by the director of the Emergency and Resuscitation Service, Angelo Gratarola, could contribute to the effort by opening their own departments, particularly those of intensive care, if the situation were Conversely. worsen. “Of great importance about Genoa – Toti added – there is only one employee of a sushi restaurant who tested positive.” The Sushi-Si in via XX Settembre is closed for sanitation and monitoring activities, limited to staff only. According to the Local Health Authority, no further initiatives are necessary, because compliance with spacing and other containment measures in the local area was strict.
