Today from 12.30 pm the live broadcast of the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia, for important communications about the Coronavirus emergency. Dr. Russo today presents the circular for Sispe.
BULLETIN
Molecular swabs to date exceed 4 million, 3 million 321 thousand rapid tests. The incidence of infections is 7.28%, in the 24 hours there were 757 new infections. The positives are 29,514. The total number of infected since the beginning of the epidemic amounts to 343,267, the number of victims is now close to 10,000, exactly 9,980. Plus 12 deaths in the last 24 hours.
The pressure on hospitals continues to mount, where 1,400 Covid patients are hospitalized: 1,243 in normal medical departments (+27), 157 (+4) in intensive care.
THREE PROVINCES WITH GROWING CURVE
“We had a long conference with the directors of the Ulss this morning, the situation is worrying – reported Zaia -, we have three provinces Padua, Treviso, Verona, with an important growth curve, and the regional one is also evident. Today we discuss and a new public health plan was decided, prudential, to manage the virus: We will reduce some hospital activities to focus on Covid. It is as if today we had a “weather report” that gives us a projection for next week ».
«A year ago at this time we were in the middle of the epidemic, with 464 occupied ICUs, today we have 1,016 ICUs that can be activated, 157 occupied by Covid patients, we can say that if we had not done this intensive care preparation work we would not have been able to face the December wave ”.
SCHOOLS
Regarding schools, it must be said that they play a role in the dynamics of infection, children are not infectious, but we see that the trend of the curve follows the opening or closing of schools ”. «We already anticipate that for the 0-6 age group, schools will not be closed except in extreme caseswhere there is rampant infection in kindergarten or elementary school. ‘ This was specified by the president of Veneto Luca Zaia.
SCHOOL CLOSURE IN VENETO
Explains Dr. Russo: We have seen that some districts have an incidence greater than 250, this implies some measures. The three realities are Alta Padovana (272 out of 100,000), the Asolo district (268 out of 100,000) and Eastern Veneto (302 out of 100,000). Here the seventh grade schools (included) will move to distance education, not starting tomorrow morning; we will give schools and families time to organize. We will leave approximately on Thursday. So in this phase preschools and elementary schools will not be affected by the closure plan. “
Councilor Lazarin adds: If there was a cluster in the school, a class or an institute could be closed regardless of the incidence in the area. Dr. Russo specified, explaining that the cluster (2 or more connected infections) discovered in the institute is not linked to the incidence of the virus in the population, that figure of 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants determined by the previous measures, in the Alta Padovana, Asolo and eastern Veneto.
AGE GROUP 0-20, THE MOST AFFECTED
«Today the 0-20 range of citizens is the most affected by the virus, Covid has been targeting another target than the elderly. There are many mutations, but some are more contagious and make themselves felt: patients no longer become negative in 8 days but in 13 ».
VACCINES
“AstraZeneca is now moving towards those over 65 and in this way the vaccination plan in the Veneto region is changing once again. For the second trimester 22 million doses of AstraZeneca will arrive in Italy, as of April 1, at least one million will also arrive in Veneto. In about ten days we will also have Johnson & Johnson. We would like to receive 45,000 vaccinations a day, with the help of general practitioners. We request the opening every day, including Sundays, of the vaccination centers of the Ulss in our territory.
«Our problem is not the facilities, but the lack of vaccines, We need them. With regard to vaccines, I hope there are reasons for age groups rather than categories, also because the risk varies by age.
«We have wisely reserved many vaccines for second doses, after they have been “burned.” with no arrival. However, today we decided to keep the supply, reducing the warehouse by 10% ”, said the president of Veneto Luca Zaia.
VACCINES, AGREEMENTS WITH MAIN DOCTORS
The Health Minister of Veneto, Manuela Lanzarote, explains: “We close the agreement with general practitioners For vaccines, tomorrow we will have the closing meeting, both for the logistical part (where to get the vaccines), and for the economic part, linked to the national agreement. Apprentices can also be employed on a voluntary basisToday at 2.30 pm I will meet with the representatives of two universities to reject the national agreement at the regional level. Pharmacies are available, when there is a national agreement, we will reject it. It is also in the regional ”.
VACCINAL PASSPORT
«We are also working on the vaccination passport.. We will not discriminate: those who do not want to be vaccinated will not. But if someone from Veneto is asked to prove the vaccination, we must be able to issue the document with the vaccination. We, Before asking others for the vaccination passport we must be free of CovidBetter to tell our tourists that we are all vaccinated ».
ZAIA’S WISHES FOR MARCH 8
«I extend my wishes on this day to all women. who operate in hospitals and health facilities in the area, women who lost their jobs in the months of the pandemic, those on whose shoulders the management of children, the home, their profession weighs even more onerous under current restrictions. My thanks to them not only concerns today March 8, but every day of the year, because they are and will always be a growing wealth, showing that if a social model wants to be great, it must be able to offer much more. .for women an outlet and support for their aspirations and projects.
