“The epidemic is now widespread throughout Italy and is no longer localized.

So far we have come, he added,“ after a summer period with limited figures and a period in September of slight and progressive increase, which had its peak in the last two weeks. “The average age of people who contract the infection is” today about 40 years, in the peak period it was 60 to 70 years. In the summer period about 30 years “.
It is important to “identify the asymptomatic” because “identifying people who carry the virus is the first frontier to stop the infection. We need to keep the curve of new infections below a certain threshold, so that people identified as positive can be traced “. “This was explained by the president of the ISS, speaking at a hearing at the Senate Health Committee.” It is important, “he continued,” to continue tracking the positives, without letting go: if the number is excessive and you can no longer do, steps are taken to reduce the number of positives below the threshold. “
In the Tsunami Italia study, which aims to evaluate the efficacy of plasma in the treatment of Sars-cov-2, “as of October 26, 188 patients were enrolled.” The trial, in which “79 clinical centers and 88 blood transfusion centers participate”, foresees “the enrollment of 474 patients but has slowed in part because in the summer, fortunately, the number of cases of people with severe infection is decreased and it has been limited. With the current situation, the threshold of patients to be enrolled more quickly will be reached. ”This was explained by the president of the ISS Silvio Brusaferro, during the hearing at the Senate Health and Hygiene Commission. In the bill, which began in May, “all regions are involved and 14 have randomized at least one patient, but the patients involved so far have been mainly Tuscan.”

Regions, positive agreement with physicians and pediatricians for tampons – “Starting tomorrow (today, editor’s note) the rapid and safe execution of antigenic tests to determine Covid is reinforced by the fundamental contribution of general practitioners and pediatricians”: the president of the Sector Committee for Health Regions , Davide Caparini, explaining that the national collective agreement was signed with union representatives to strengthen territorial activities for first-level diagnosis and prevention of Sars-Cov-2 transmission. “In this emergency phase – Caparini warns – it is essential to ensure local assistance that is present with all its strength. Thanks to the involvement of local medicine, general practitioners and pediatricians thus assume an even more active role in the pandemic contrast. The objective is to reduce the pressure on hospitals and health facilities and reduce the opportunities of exposure to the risk of contagion. “” It is an important response – underlines Stefano Bonaccini, president of the Conference of the Regions – that general practitioners and pediatricians of free choice have been given to the country, helping to improve the process of patient care by providing a greater number of first-rate diagnostic services and by performing rapid antigenic swabs throughout the period of the emergency. I want to thank to all the actors, in the first place to the unions, the President of the Sectorial Commission, the Coordinator of Sisac and the Ministry of Health for team play – continues Bonaccini – who have known how to deploy and have made it possible to achieve a result so important in less than two weeks. Now our country has an extra tool to counteract the spread of Covid-19. Thus, the c campaign to prevent and combat pan demia. Currently, on a large scale, different categories of health professionals are involved, who always deserve our thanks for their professionalism and dedication. This is good news, such as the great adhesion of candidates to the Civil Protection ban to boost health monitoring services for the pandemic. As we can see, there is an Italy that does not give up and that wants to overcome this difficult period for the country with force and in the front row.
