Milan, November 14, 2020 – It’s a orange “technical” the one assigned yesterday to Lombardy since surveillance from the control room of the Ministry of Health-Iss that sent Campania and Tuscany to the red zone, and three other regions in orange: from the point of view of containment measures, Governor Attilio Fontana, nothing can change for another week, because the last Dpcm that the mechanism of Italy drew in color establishes that when a region ends in a risk range it cannot leave it before 15 days. To raise the evaluation COVID-19 from Lombardy was the rate of spread of the Rt virus in the first week of November (the first ranking of the regions was based on data collected between October 19 and 25).
An index which, the Councilor for Welfare explained yesterday to the Pirellone Health Commission Giulio Gallera, it is now fell “about 1.5” from 2 unfulfilled in the last week of October; and Milan, which had already passed Rt 2 two weeks earlier (exactly one month after the opening of schools), was at 1.25 on Thursday, recalled Ats director Walter Bergamaschi, underlining how the slowdown of the The growth of infections (new cases will not decrease until it falls below Rt 1) must be attributed, rather than to a single week of “soft” blockage, to the tightening started in Lombardy from the second half of October, until the touch curfew and distance learning for high school. A “beautiful sign of encouragement” according to the epidemiologists of the ATS, and it ends there because keeping Lombardy (and most of Italy) in a high-risk range is the other macro-indicator evaluated by the experts of the ministry, and updated, this, on Thursday: the rate filling of Covid beds, 48% in wards and 58% in intensive care that yesterday rose again to 7,319 and 801 hospitalized respectively.
And with 4,451 new infected people still discovered yesterday in the Milan area, including 1973 in the city, the pressure on a healthcare system struggling to even continue treating patients other than those for Covid is unlikely to diminish for several weeks. The story of first wave In this regard, epidemiologists reason, it would be good to try to reverse the equation, this time trying to quickly lower infections and then gradually start over with sociability. “In the metropolitan city we have more than ten thousand reports of symptomatic people every day by local doctors: the more than 40 buffer points in Milan and the province, while more than 15 thousand tests are done a day (yesterday the Lombard’s total was 55,636 swabs loaded in twenty-four hours in the surveillance system, molecular swabs, ed), they cannot keep up, ”Bergamaschi clarified yesterday at the in via Novara, the largest road in Italy, from 800 quick swabs per day, made by the Army and managed by military doctors and nurses together with Asst dei Santi personnel.
The first of the three hotspots prepared in the city (the others were also built by the military in the Romolo car park and in Linate), as of Monday it will be reserved for “school corridors”, that is, students and staff who show symptoms of Covid, to accelerate the isolation of classes in which a positive is discovered. And free up spaces , stressed President Fontana, in the other buffer points, especially for the other Milanese who have symptoms of coronavirus: “Right now the priority is to accelerate the diagnosis,” said Bergamaschi, the director of the Ats who had to stop the tests. Quarantine cut for asymptomatic “close contacts” (with the new rules of the Ministry, the quarantine ends after 14 days).
