There is no Covid curfew for now in Veneto, even if the new outbreak – 1,422 positives in one day, albeit with an envelope of 500 old cases2 in Venice – raises the alarm level. The objective for the Region continues to be level of intensive care employment still low (66 patients). While in other regions “red zones” and closures are activated, Luca Zaia recommends cold bloodand it is based on the “semaphores”, the 5 alert levels, of the new Public Health Plan. “Today, I emphasize today because nobody has the crystal ball to predict what will be tomorrow, the contagion curve is uphill, but there is no hospital emergency. Today there are no conditions to raise the hypothesis of a confinement in Veneto and we continue working so that it never happens ». He explains it to the Regional Council, illustrating the program of his new majority. «Today – he adds – we have 66 patients in intensive care. Let’s look closely at this evolution. Mathematical models tell us that the curve has entered a growth phase. Our role is to get him to get up little by little and to get up as little as possible.

‘A new blockade would be a defeat. Use the mask ”
In Veneto, therefore, the reopening of the Covid center hospitals can only take place if intensive care exceeds the threshold of 150 occupied places., or “level 3” of the new Public Health Plan launched yesterday. Currently – he recalled – there are 66 patients in intensive care (the level is that of phase 2), with a staff of 464 places. The third phase provides for threshold limits 150-250, the fourth from 250 to 400, the fifth from 400 onwards. With 150 patients -explained Zaia- we would go to the third phase, “and hence the reopening of the 10 hospitals of the Covid center, which I imagine will be gradual, not immediate. Maybe we’ll start with a few patients and then get to full capacity. ‘

On average we have 5-600 cases, perhaps today more than 700 positive people.” The governor recalled that in Veneto now an average of 25,000 to 30,000 swabs are performed a day for contact tracing, in part molecular, partly rapid. However, given the growth curve of infections Starting tomorrow, Zaia announced, the Crisis Unit will be permanently reopened at the Civil Protection headquarters in Marghera..

We have the best care and a strong organization, but to get out of it we need to play as a single team and that everyone give their contribution, always wearing a mask, respecting safety distances and hand hygiene rules.
