“Today we are among the least affected Italian regions – explained the regional health adviser, Raffaele donini, at a press conference via Facebook -, with a ratio of 2.5% between the number of positive cases and the swabs performed. Almost all the positive aspects are in the home or in the reception facilities of the hotel – continued the commissioner -. We mainly have outbreaks of a family type, some sporadic cases of outbreaks in productive situations but not specific to product sectors. Some cases of positivity returning from abroad and someone else at RSA, discovered thanks to screening. An important piece of information to contain the spread of the virus is that 50% of the positives in Emilia-Romagna are already isolated when the positivity is discovered. “
Speaking of schools, Donini reported some data: “To date we have 460 cases (400 students, mainly high school and university students and 60 Ata teachers and staff) in 340 schools with at least one episode of positivity.”
“The actions we are taking to counteract the new peak are three – Donini concluded -: the
ability to test with nasopharyngeal swabs (with an average of 10,000 per day, compared to less than 3,000 in March), with serological tests (about 2,000 per day) and contact tracing. “
