Italy heads into the first weekend with the lights half off and the autumn wave of coronavirus awakens fear. Even the first regional data for today, Friday, October 23, suggest a new peak in the curve, with the Veneto that is registered 1,550 positivity and the Market that break 400. And the Lombardy region decide to reduce theordinary surgical activity – Or the scheduled operations deferred, therefore no emergencies) – while wondering about the effectiveness of shutting everything down from 2. 3 everybody 5, not excluding even more drastic measures, such as a emergency shutdown: “If with the measures taken the contagion slows down, could be avoided. If the increase continues, a different measure can be taken“, Warned the president of the Region Attilio fontana commenting on SkyTg24 the hypothesis of one total closure from the Lombard capital or even from other areas of the regional territory, at present it continues to be the most affected by the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic. “We have to reduce the pressure in a small space, in a two-hour schedule local public transport – Fontana explained – Nell ‘rush hour there’s a big crowd in the subway and in bus.

Fontana: “We monitor day after day” – Meanwhile, it was taken last night at 11 p.m. the first night of curfew in Lombardy: “What we have done goes in the direction of avoiding infections. It is clear that we must check, monitor day by day and decide if it is appropriate to continue with these measures or if it is appropriate more serious measures are taken”Said Fontana, explaining that for now the Region’s commitment is to try to get us to arrive gradually, but above all to avoid those measures that run the risk of being too serious for our citizens. Serious for the economy but also serious for everyday life “. And consequently to take measures such as the confinement there is’“evaluations of a purely technical nature”. In short, when it comes to blocking “More than numbers“You have to see” the situation intensive care occupations, the situation of hospital occupations. We must prevent our healthcare from being flooded in such a way that it cannot be efficient. We have several scenarios. Now we have entered the third scenario where some measures have been taken. If things keep getting worse there will be other scenarios. Let’s see what happens in the next few hours ”.
