Cases on the rise, but on the availability of beds in hospitals, the regional health adviser Ruggero Razza reassures Sicilians. “On April 6 in Sicily there were 637 hospitalized, today there are 134. I do not understand the controversy (that I have read) about the availability of beds, also because they have never been lacking and all the structures today have an experience that they did not have at the beginning of the epidemic. And there is a territorial presence, also thanks to the work of the Usca, which allows to de-hospitalize all asymptomatic patients, following them at home ”. This is how Razza writes in a post on Facebook after some controversy about the availability of beds, especially those in therapy. intensive.
The Covid Hospital del Cervelló, for example, has exhausted its eight places in intensive care and the regional undersecretary of the Cimo doctors union, Angelo Collodoro, has raised the alarm claiming that the Civic would not be equipped for hospitalization, as reported today. at the Giornale di Sicilia on the newsstands.
The plan drawn up by the Region establishes that, in the event of exceeding the capacity of the Intensive Care of the Brain, the patients must be transferred to the Civic Hospital, where there are two wards with twelve and twenty places; and, even if these were saturated, it would be Ismett, the Transplant Institute, who would intervene with eleven other stations.
But the trade unionist also points a finger at the Polyclinic: «In June, more than three million euros were already spent, more than half of which just to set up forty places in the old Imi of Villa Belmonte between intensive and sub-intensive care. What were these funds used for and why didn’t they open this structure? Collodoro asks.
Today, Commissioner Razza urges instead to respect the containment measures. “Instead of feeding sterile debates,” he adds, “let us commit ourselves to respect the rules of distancing, to wear a mask, to wash our hands frequently, to avoid going to the emergency room when it is not necessary and to adopt all the good practices in the family, in the act. from work and among friends. Today this counts for much more, because the cases will continue to increase, especially among the asymptomatic and we have to live with this virus for many months. We cannot block our lives – concludes Razza – but we must be careful. Prudence is the best ally and the most important rule to follow ”.
