the covid hospital in Fiera open to patients from other regions

Still empty. But, perhaps, not for long. The Covid hospital installed in the Fiera de Milano, much desired by the Lombard president Attilio Fontana and built under the supervision of Guido Bertolaso, could soon be open to patients from other regions.

After having remained essentially in disuse – with inevitable controversies over the almost 20 million euros spent and with the eyes of the Judiciary focused on it – “the spaceship”, as Bertolaso ​​himself had renamed it, could now be more useful to the rest of Italy than to Lombardy itself. In other regions, indeed, ICU admissions are increasing more than in Lombardy (the Cotugno of Naples, for example, already seems to be close to collapse) and Attilio Fontana has decided to get closer.

“The Fiera Milano Covid hospital was created by Lombardy as a strategic asset to contain a possible new wave. If the government requests it, we are at the disposal of the National Health System and, if necessary, also to support other Regions “In difficulty,” wrote the governor on Tuesday on his Facebook profile, “Lombardy is there. Together,” he assured, “we will achieve it.

Therefore, no reference is made to specific regions, but an important and obviously felt opening. Instead, a controversial streak appeared in the words of Paolo Grimoldi, deputy of Brianza and national secretary of the Lombard League. “For months Lombardy, at its most dramatic moment, was insulted and mocked by the Governor of Campania, De Luca, who made fun of our dead, our sick, our health personnel – he wrote on Facebook -. Today Lombardy makes available the their hospital beds and their doctors and nurses to care for the sick in Campania, where the situation is getting out of hand. This – he concluded – is the generous heart of a great Region, of a great community, of a great people ” .
