Serenity and prudence: these are the keywords of the call between the Bergamo Health Agency, the Council of Representatives and the mayors of Bergamo, from the appearance of the numbers, illustrated as usual by Dr. Alberto Zucchi of the Epidemiological Service of the Company Ats.
“Shy signs of cooling of the curve”
“The trend continues with a linear increase of a limited nature compared to the rest of the provinces – explained Dr. Zucchi -. The population is strictly complying with the law and the advice of common sense. There may be daily statistical shocks, but we are confident. ” An appeal follows: “Let’s not screw everything up, it’s too early to relax.”
Basse and Isola and more critical areas
In the province, the most critical areas remain Treviglio, Romano, the island of Bergamo and Dalmine. Good news from Alto Sebino, which is close to the provincial average: the outbreaks for the most part have returned.
First aid: “Numbers under control”
First aid at work under normal conditions: 730 beds for Lombardy. “The situation is quite calm with regard to access – confirmed Massimo Giupponi, CEO of Ats Bergamo -. One of the most interesting data refers to the PS: the accesses are on average with the other years of the same period, so there is no pressure on our hospitals ”.
The situation outside the province’s borders, on the other hand, is difficult: the numbers are absolutely high and they are putting the network of hospital services in difficulties. “What happened in March and April in Bergamo is happening. That is why absolute precaution is needed, “reiterated Giupponi, adding:” We have made beds available for the needs of other territories, a total of 730 as of tomorrow. We can probably find another 100/150 beds to activate in a pinch. “
From March 15 to April 30, on average, 721 citizens of Bergamo found a place in hospitals outside the province every day for ordinary hospitalizations and 137 for intensive care: “We are giving back to the rest of the regional territory what all the regional territory had given us disposition – Giupponi pointed out -. These numbers are the measure of the aid received and the measure of the aid we can give.
Since Monday the first quick swabs
Ats Bergamo is planning the organization of quick swabs: “On Monday we will begin to carry out the first ones on the social and health structures of the most affected areas (Bassa and Isola) – Giupponi anticipated -. Quick swab programming continues in the other settings as well: schools and territories. We request the availability of General Practitioners to carry them out and the response that comes is positive: there is a significant number of availability. We are verifying where they want to do them: among those who have responded so far (450), 15% are willing to stay in their own study, 50% request an external position and 30/35% will evaluate where to do them. Meanwhile, we are verifying the offices that will be activated in conjunction with the ASST and the Municipalities ”.
