Brusaferro (Iss): some regions beyond the admission threshold
“The number of hospitalizations with symptoms is a number that is increasing and deserves attention” and “the same is true of intensive care.” With regard to the occupation of beds in ordinary hospitalization with medicinal air, “some regions have passed the cut-off, others have not, but they are close.” Silvio Brusaferro, president of the Higher Institute of Health (ISS), took stock of the resilience of the system, or the ability to respond to those who develop symptoms, during the hearing at the Chamber’s Social Affairs Committee. The meaning of the cut-off points, or the threshold values defined by the Ministry of Health, is that if we have “more than 40% occupancy of the beds in the medical area for Covid diseases, it means that we must reschedule the deferred health activities to other diseases, so to find a place and prioritize Sars-cov-2 patients. “
Ippolito (Spallanzani): with these numbers essential measures
“With these levels of virus circulation, the measures are not recommended but they are essential”, there is no one that is good for everyone, “you have to see them in practice”, but “it takes courage to make decisions.” The scientific director of the Spallanzani Institute for Infectious Diseases, Giuseppe Ippolito, commented on the measures introduced by the Dpcm that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has just signed in Agorà en Rai 3. “Yesterday’s figures, with 130 more deaths than the previous day, – he specified – they are a worrying aspect, although they respect a situation from previous days. On the other hand, we have had a significant number of swabs that confirm that around 15% of the people analyzed are positive ”.
