Lopalco: “A worrying scenario”
The Counselor of Health Policies, Pier Luigi Lopalco, He states: “The increasing number of cases per day sets a worrying scenario. Although in fact many of these positive cases refer to subjects who do not have particular health problems, a significant percentage in the coming days will have to seek medical attention, further increasing the pressure on the hospital system. We work incessantly on two fronts: strengthening contact tracing activities in the territory and preparing the hospital system to adapt to the progressive wave of cases. We renew our appeal to citizens to limit any social contact to a minimum and to strictly respect hygiene rules.
