Calls to the 112 drop
That something is changing and that the sacrifices of the last few weeks are beginning to pay off is also evident from the 112 numbers. As explained by Areu (Regional Emergency Emergency Agency) in recent days in Lombardy one has stood out Slight, but steady reduction in the number of requests for help for respiratory / infectious problems.

Although there is a geography of the emergency more well defined yesterday by the meeting between the Region and the mayors, the clear will to move forward together emerged: “We will continue the battle unitary “undone”requests for territorial differentiation. Also based on examinations of the data that confirm how the epidemic in the region is currently taking a unitary behavior, that is, the data of the individual provinces are superimposable “.
The pressure on Brianza is relieved
In the Asst Monza hospitals, one of the epicenters of the second wave of Coronavirus, hospitalizations fell for the third consecutive day. There are a total of 426 hospitalized, of which 326 in San Gerardo di Monza, of which 38 in intensive care; 100 in the Desio hospital of which 13 in intensive care. While the mortality rate compared to patients treated in phase 1 was around 20%, it is now less than 10%. The decrease in hospitalizations is due to the significant increase in transfers of hospitalized patients to less saturated hospitals, which occurred in the last three days thanks to the regional coordination center that Areu now coordinates. Since the beginning of phase 2, approximately 7,200 swabs have been performed on employees (compared to 4,000 in phase 1) with a percentage of positive employees of 8% significantly less than the extent of infection in the province (24%).
“To avoid the third wave, we need a maintenance strategy”
However, there is not only the problem of managing the contingent health emergency (and the related economic crisis): the ability to cope with post-second wave. “We are worried about the next holidays, but now we have a duty to analyze what will happen at Easter if this second wave is not adequately repressed,” he said. Massimo Galli, Director of Infectious Diseases at Luigi Sacco Hospital from Milan. For Galli, the crux is linked not only to the need to stop the emergency but also to the ability to manage the next phase: “Otherwise, it is like doing very concentrated diets and then you get angry if you gain a kilo a week later. Or you can find a maintenance, at least until the vaccine arrives, or the third wave is obvious“.
