Four of the deceased were from Ancona: a 71-year-old from Senigallia, an 88-year-old from Jesi, a 90-year-old and a 93-year-old from Osimo.

“For the first time we have numbers that flex more sensitively but less than we expected“. The Governor of the Marches said: Francesco Acquaroli, this morning during the regional council session. After the commemoration of Luca Attanasio, the Italian ambassador to the Congo killed in an ambush on February 22, the regional president took the floor for a series of communications on the Covid-19 emergency. “With the closing of data from last week we noticed the epidemiological curve in our region has arrived in a phase of decline – says Acquaroli. Last week we had 282 fewer cases compared to the previous week for a total of 4,848 cases. Although the pressure is still very strong, the curve goes down more decisively in Ancona, it starts to go down in Macerata and in the province of Ascoli. We record instead a climb to Fermo and Pesaro Urbino“.




The situation in hospitals is very complicated. “The situation in hospitals both in intensive and semi-intensive areas and in emergency rooms still does not show signs of a significant decrease, in fact these days in Pesaro and also in the other territories access to the ward of emergencies is very high – concludes Acquaroli-. Occupied ICU beds exceed 60%. Hopefully this is the week that the curve will see a notable decline compared to last week. “

“The vaccine procurement plan for the Marche region foresees the the month of April the delivery of a million doses that will be used to vaccinate more or less 500 thousand people, but the bulk, let’s say, of the quantities that should reach our region is in the third quarter of the year, July August September, at that time vaccination could be extended to the population. “This was stated by the regional health councilor of the Marches Filippo Saltamartini, answering questions in the Regional Council, met in an online session. Saltamartini later explained that the administration of vaccines within companies can only occur when “the public that have priority are satisfied (highly fragile categories, caregivers, people with disabilities, age group 60-70 and 70-80). A perspective” he explained. – which is believed to be fulfilled at the end of April, beginning of May. “Still answering another question, the commissioner said that the regional administration agrees on the priority of vaccination for autoferrotranvieri and supermarket workers” and for those who work in essential public services. “But it is not possible to reach this solution, because the vaccination plan prepared by the Government on March 10 provides for a structuring by age groups and giving priority to people with high frailty and severely disabled “.




Reserved Pfizer, there is AstraZeneca: “I didn’t want it, but now I’m here”

“We can’t control infections at all COVID-19 is spreading with faster than in the past, probably due to the English variant that is much more contagious than the previous one and that has significantly lowered the age compared to a year ago. The last two patients are 61 and 50 years old. The fact is that people seem not to have understood the seriousness of the moment ”, is the testimony of Alessandro Diana, 30, a family doctor from Pesaro who replaces a sick colleague for a year.
