The new infections registered in the last 24 hours in Umbria are 407 of the 4,006 swabs performed. The figure arises from the weekly informative meeting organized by the Region. Also noteworthy is the increase in the number of deaths, which went from 95 to 97, and of people hospitalized in intensive care (from 20 to 22); that of total hospitalizations increased from 172 to 193. In the week of September 15 to 22, there was a variation of +1,848 positive cases, +107 hospitalizations of which + 10 in intensive care, +389 recovered, +6 deaths, + 22,994 swabs made.
Deceased One death occurred on the night of October 21 in the resuscitation room of Terni hospital, where an 86-year-old Covid-positive woman residing in Terni died.
HOSPITALS: THE REGION PLAN
Stop asymptomatic contact swabs Therefore, the “very fast and worrying” evolution, as defined by the Emergency Commissioner Antonio Onnis at a press conference, does not stop. So fast that the Region had to correct its strategies. The main novelty is that swabs will no longer be made in close contacts, even in cohabitation (they are put directly into quarantine), of the positive ones if not in the presence of symptoms. “It is a choice – explained Onnis – in accordance with ministerial protocols, for the figures. If there are 407 positives like today and each one has at least twenty contacts, it would mean rubbing 8 thousand people, who would be added to those of yesterday and gradually every day. In other settings, asymptomatic patients are still tested, such as at the airport, in the emergency room or in the case of a special screening. In addition, Onnis wanted to send a message to the population: “The hyssop is not something salvific that can solve all problems, but a diagnostic tool that must be used as such at the right time and by the right personnel who know how to evaluate the response “.
THREE SCENARIOS OF PANDEMIC EVOLUTION
Response to the ‘tsunami’ The figures, or rather, the “tsunami” that places Umbria among the 12 regions ‘at risk’ for the German government and in the fourth place of infected per 100 thousand inhabitants (193.2) only behind the Valley of Aosta. , Liguria and the province of Bolzano in the elaboration of Paolo Spada, vascular surgeon at the Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan, based on data from the Ministry of Health, is also the reason for the change in strategy in contact tracing. “We need to simplify the follow-up activity – Onnis stressed – that is why we are involving general practitioners, pediatricians and continuity-of-care doctors with specific agreements who will monitor patients at home. We have also strengthened the Usca (special continuity of care units) with the hiring of 13 doctors in Usl Umbria 1 and 15 in Usl Umbria 2 to have teams of 5 doctors in Usl 1 and 5-6 in Usl 2, which from Today they will be active 7 days a week ». It is also tightening to close the deal on the second Covid hotel.
COVID: THE COMMON DATA BY COMMON
Other possible restrictions All this, of course, with the goal of reducing the impact on hospitals and protecting RSA. The Region, on Wednesday, had released three predictive scenarios on the evolution of the pandemic and its impact on hospitals. “Today – said Onnis – I would say that we are in the second, which has restrictive measures at 40%, so we still have room for maneuver for containment interventions (in the model the situation anticipated up to 60% of ‘confinement ‘) not yet implemented. Opera. But citizens must know that the effectiveness of the measures depends above all on individual behavior: close contacts, including friends, should be avoided, among friends we tend to relax. I’m talking about dinners at home, snacks, like that of a small group of students in which 3 out of 7-8 were infected. The virus does not travel miles, but runs through interpersonal contacts that are a highway for the virus. Among the possible interventions also the adoption of red zones. They are also possible not from ‘territories’ but from particular situations – specified Onnis – as was done with the closure of some school buildings. And speaking of schools: “The situation is stationary compared to last week, but it is not in the classrooms where Covid is spreading, but around it and you have to be careful.”
