With balance and measure. It is clear that in these hours there are calls from many to close the whole country, scared, perhaps rightly, calls for closure, to close everything, politics sometimes takes its share of stirring up people’s fears. “Those who say that if we close everything again we could probably break the contagion curve, scientifically they are not saying falsehood. But it would cause gigantic damage to this country. And how long can we remain closed? Just as those who say we must continue are wrong. as if nothing. There is no magic formula, we have to make many wise decisions, in balance, “said the governor.
And he announced: «I am confirmed by the Conference of the Regions that in the afternoon there will be a confrontation with the government in time to be determined ».
Regarding the situation in Liguria, Toti added: «Yesterday we also made more than 6 thousand tampons, together with the antigen we exceeded 10 thousand. The screening system is up and running. Certainly not enough to stop a wave that this morning is very strong in hospitals, especially in Genoa. The rest of the Region is in a situation of controlled management, while there is strong pressure on Genoa. This does not mean that there are no beds, in fact there are many free intensive therapies and this is the true fortune of this second wave of Covid. In the ICU we have about thirty very serious patients. But we have the first aid bottleneck, where many people who have a fever arrive, many do not have Covid but show up there because they are afraid. This creates a bottleneck that is not good for anyone. ‘ “Yesterday we asked family doctors to keep their cell phones on to make the first diagnoses and see if there is a real need. Please before going to the emergency room: call your GP and see him.
