Contagions: large numbers in Romagna
The numbers that forced the passage in the red zone of all the Romagna are “heavy”, where “the virus runs more than in any other place”. This was explained by the CEO of Romagna Ausl, Tiziano Carradori. The alarm sounds when there are 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for two weeks. “We are in a situation of maximum alert, although we have not yet collapsed – underlines the director Ausl – in Romagna we are in 873 and there is no province below: 873 in Rimini; 943 in Cesena with the Rubicone area over a thousand; 677 in Forlì ; 710 in Ravenna with the territory of Faenza above 1,100 “.
In the last week, the incidence rate has grown by 37% in Romagna, with a peak of 55% in Cesena and 50% in Forlì. The departments are also in serious trouble. “In the regional panorama, we are the ones who suffer the least from the occupation of beds – underlines the director of the Ausl Romagna – the places occupied in intensive care however have increased by 67% in one week, from 24 to 40: we have a hundred in everything and we must protect them if we want to use them also for other pathologies ”. The occupancy of the rest of the covid beds, on the other hand, “increased by 20%, from 434 to 522, so much so that we had to start converting the beds again.” In Emilia-Romagna, Carradori explains, the RT was 1.28 on February 21, but “now it is presumably much higher.” In this context, “the territories of Forlì-Cesena and Rimini together with Bologna have a higher level of incidence and with Ravenna they are the provinces with the highest incidence growth than all the others in the region.
