The new ISS weekly report the classification landscape for Italian regions could change. The epidemiological situation worsens, as shown by the data from the last bulletin yesterday, with 32,616 new cases and 331 deaths. And hospitals in many regions are already in trouble. So much so that the president of the Federation of Medical Orders, Filippo Anelli, suggested that the government take even more drastic measures: “The situation in a month will be dramatic, we need a total closure throughout the country.”
Therefore, with the new report, a few days later than usual, the list of Regions could be expanded, which according to the 21 parameters established by the CTS and the Ministry of Health are defined as ‘red’. At the moment there are only four: Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Calabria. The control room meeting was originally scheduled for Friday and will instead be convened in the next few hours. But in the data validation phase by the Regions themselves, which must respond within 24 hours, some have asked for more time.
As we tell you here, the government’s intention was to wait two weeks, a period provided by the same ordinance of the Ministry of Health, before changing the location of the Regions, a period considered necessary to evaluate the effects of the restrictive measures. But Minister Speranza said he was ready to accelerate, and by today some Italian regions could change from yellow, which identifies moderate risk, to orange, which indicates high risk. At the moment, there are only two orange regions, Puglia and Sicily. But yesterday the Mayor of Palermo Leoluca Orlando sounded the alarm: “If what the media reported today is true about the lack of fundamental tools for the care of the sick and about the saturation of beds, we run the risk that in Palermo and throughout Sicily we will go towards a massacre If it is true that there is a lack of oxygen in the emergency room and that in hospital wards it has begun to choose which patients to try to save and which not, war medicine scenarios are envisioned, what are the results and why the commitment of the Doctors and health workers to be gigantic will bring a long list of human and social pain and tragedies. “
But also in Campania the situation is worrying, and the mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris, maintains that “proclaiming Campania as a red zone is, unfortunately, an unavoidable decision, in fact, it is a late decision.” But they can also go from yellow to orange (or red) Veneto, Liguria, Emilia romagna, Umbria me Tuscany. In the Region led by Giani there is fear above all for the elders of the RSA: in these structures one in ten is positive. As Il Messaggero writes, 1,103 of approximately 12,500 patients in more than 300 structures are infected, with various levels of symptomaticity and severity, while there are around 100 cases among operators.
According to President of Liguria Toti a change of Liguria from the yellow zone to the orange zone would be wrong: “Report 25 came from the Ministry and the Istituto Superiore di Sanità fully confirms the data of Report 24, on which the evaluations related to the yellow zone of our Region, “he writes on Facebook. In particular, all the indicators (none excluded) are considered of quality and 3 are higher than 90% (that is, highly accurate). Regarding Rt, the two mean reference values are confirmed: symptoms 1.37; mean 1, 48. Therefore, the data from which the decisions were made are precise, exact and confirmed. It is the demonstration that in Liguria many professionals work with seriousness and diligence “, adds Toti, who underlines” for the reckless who continue talking about data that they do not know and perhaps would not understand “. The president concludes the position as follows:” Ps: those who intend to continue this process without sense to the Regions think of the Health Commissioner in Calabria appointed by Rome (by the former Minister of Health Grillo, of the M5S) and he resigned due to shameful and dangerous incapacity “.
And if some center-right governors hit the table with their fists and call for their regions to be downgraded to the lowest level of risk, South Tyrol has autonomously decided to enter the red zone even before government technicians gave their evaluation.
