[ad_1]

With the current figures of the Covid-19 pandemic, “Italian hospitals will be able to hold out for at least 5 months and for the moment the situation is manageable, but if we witness an exponential increase in cases as is happening in other countries like France then the hospital system it wouldn’t last more than 2 months. ” This was stated to ANSA by Carlo Palermo, the secretary of the largest Italian hospital doctor unions, Anaao-Assomed. If we go from about 5,000 cases of contagion a day to more than 10,000 as in France, he points out, “there is a risk that the first anti-Covid hospital trench will collapse, because hospitals are not prepared to face an exponential epidemic.” “Now,” he warns, “criticalities are beginning to be recorded, starting with the lack of health personnel and structures that do not always guarantee differentiated paths.”
