The new daily infections identified in Lombardy on Friday October 9 are 983, with a jump that takes the region to surpass Campania that registers 769. In Veneto there are 595 positives in the last 24 hours, 483 in Tuscany, according to data from the Ministry of Health.
Coronavirus infections continue to grow in Italy. In the last 24 hours, the positives have increased by 5,372 (yesterday they were 4,458), with 28 deaths. This is learned from the data of the Ministry of Health. The swabs were 129,471.
Coronavirus ICU patients have increased by another 29 units in the last 24 hours, according to data from the Ministry of Health, bringing the total to 387. On the other hand, those hospitalized in ordinary wards increased by 161 units, reaching 4,086. The positives have currently passed the threshold of 70,000: now they are 70,110, with an increase of 4,158 in one day, while the most cured are only 1,186 for a total of 237,549. The positives in home isolation have also increased by almost 4,000 to 65,637.
And after the first data, the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, in a live broadcast on the Facebook profile, invites the Lombards to raise the threshold of attention. «Today, dear Lombards, especially young people, I need your full attention. The trend of the epidemiological curve of Covid-19 in Lombardy is increasing. Right now our situation is better than in other regions, but the numbers are growing. I have to ask you for more attention and responsibility: hand hygiene and a social distancing mask, when you are away from home with your friends or colleagues at work or study. We must protect the fragile and most at risk; be it your parents, friends or grandparents.
I am writing to you in particular because the analysis of the data revealed that unlike what happened at the beginning of the pandemic, now the age group most susceptible to infection is the one between 20 and 29 years old (in March age 70 to 79) and dissemination opportunities are activities related to free time.
“Contrary to what happened in the peak period of expansion of the virus, to a growing number of positives, fortunately we do not see an exponential growth of hospitalizations and intensive care, but this does not reassure us, we must keep our guard up – explains Fontana – . If it is true that our ability to track, isolate and extinguish outbreaks has improved, it is equally true that we still do not know enough about this virus to avoid the danger of the situation rapidly precipitating ”.
«Today I attended one of the ordinary meetings of our” Covid-19 Indicators Commission “, which constantly monitors the situation and I have collected their concern. It was they, who work tirelessly, who highlighted the need to get their attention and help before undertaking any type of restrictive intervention. In the afternoon I also illustrated the situation to the group leaders of the Regional Council so that the awareness-raising action is as broad as possible. This is not the time for divisions and politics must show, as I ask, a great sense of responsibility. If we want this ‘new normal’, as we have often called it, to be less burdensome for everyone, we must all work together.
«On Monday I convened the regional Scientific Technical Committee to discuss the strategy to follow. Meanwhile, as of this weekend, I recommend that you follow the few rules that have brought us out of the tunnel in recent months: mask, social distancing and hand hygiene », Fontana concludes.
