In Lazio the Covid departments are full: the Region is ready to increase the number of available beds

Numbers in hand, he’s right Walter Ricciardi: Covid departments in Lazio they are full. And it is possible that in the next few hours the regional crisis unit will begin to think about according to ‘update’ of the structures dedicated in just two weeks, after “phase VI” launched on September 28. The alarm went off Sky Tg24 by the executive member of the WHO and advisor to the Italian government, has the support of current photograph on the management of the infection in the capital. According to the newsletter of the October 9, issued by the Lazio Region, the total of hospitalized in Covid departments they are fine 853, compared to 866 rooms ordinary available in 14 hospitals from Lazio. Separate speech for intensive therapy, what are left wide enough: 57 people are hospitalized in “resuscitation”, against 200 places currently activated. It is worth making a comparison withApril 11, the peak of the epidemic in Lazio in a phase of uncertainty in which it was not known where it would lead. At that time, “ordinary” prisoners were in and around Rome. 1264 and those of the ICU well 203, while the Region made its maximum effort on the structural front, with 2 thousand ordinary beds available more 450 intensive care.

Lazio has provided a call “a physharmonic“For the management of the epidemic, with the maximum participation of over 26 since hospitals me private clinics throughout the territory. The call “phase V“The basic assembly for the minimum management of infections with 850 total places, ended on September 28, when the crisis unit was forced to expand the offer of the 30% and reaching altitude 1124 rooms available. On that occasion it was decided to reopen the bunker anti-Al Qaeda built in the 2000s in a building adjacent to theSpallanzani Institute. In the coming days, the Lazio region should release the second update, with further growth of another 30%how to touch me 1,500 seats in total. “If these numbers continue it will be necessary enlarge again the network of places, see in the coming days ”, reported the Lazio Region. In parallel, we are working on agreements with Hotel amenities for the management of home isolation and the post-hospital phase: the September 28 plan envisaged the achievement “in October” of some 500 available places, a figure that will now require a review upside down.

On the other hand, in addition to the worrying situation of the province of latina, which led the Region to launch important restrictive measures In relation to the meetings and the opening hours of the premises, it should be considered that the number of local outbreaks is growing. TO up, in the province of Viterbo, the health authorities have closed a Gym after having found 12 positive people among the members, while 3 are the cases resulting from a ceremony of baptism in the municipality of Vitorchiano, always in Upper Lazio. In the province of RietiHowever, the outbreaks have returned to retirement homes, with 25 positives among operators and guests of the structure in the small town of Concerbian.

Problems may arise shortly on the front of the personal. Take the situation of Umberto I Polyclinic, one of the main hospitals in the capital and one of the three Covid hub from Lazio. Here, according to the data provided by the unions, they are already there 12 infected healthcare workers in 7 different departments and that have nothing to do with the management of Covid patients. His colleagues, waiting for the results of the swab, whose waiting time now exceeds 6 days – continue to go to work. The hospital management has asked the Region to hire other 110 nurses only last September 30. Second Roberto Chierchia, regional secretary of the Cisl Fp, “He acted with extreme delayAs “now it will take several weeks for workers to be added, including calls, authorizations and notification deadlines.” The epidemic, concludes the unionist, “began 6 months ago, not the day before yesterday, this lack of forecast it’s incomprehensible”.
