Genoa. Yellow to orange? According to Governor Toti, there should not be a change in color and risk range, at least based on the data, but Liguria is ready to discuss any new measure because there is a more critical situation and it is that of the city of Genoa.
“I do not expect anything in particular but I am willing to discuss with the government all possible measures to contain the contagion of data, there has been no worsening, but with that said, we know that the city of Genoa is experiencing particular pressure on hospitals, so we must discuss it.”Said the president of the Region this morning interviewed by Radio Capital confirming the impression of the last hours.
While the financial police are located in the offices of the Region for the investigation of the Genoa prosecutor on the data sent to the ministry (there are many regions under the lens): “It is normal when there are ongoing investigations – Toti comments – but I exclude that there will be problems, as far as we are concerned, all the data comes back, and also as regards the ministry itself, given that the data for the week of October 25 to November 1 have been defined as reliable and with an accuracy around the 90% for some indicators ”.
The meeting of the government control room to assess the risk status of the regions, based on data between October 25 and November 1 contained in the report of the Higher Institute of Health, It happened from yesterday to 3 in the afternoon today. And that’s why Liguria hopes to know whether or not a tightening of the measures against the covid will be imposed. In addition to Liguria, Abruzzo, Umbria and Campania remain in the window, which could even go from the yellow to the red zone in one fell swoop and find themselves in the same conditions as Calabria, Piedmont, Lombardy and Valle d’Aosta.
The numbers. The report for the week of October 25 to November 1 attributes – as Toti himself affirms – to Liguria an index Rt 1.37, and the medium more than 14 days at 1.48 therefore, even if it is just below the protection threshold. Of course, it was in the following week that the numbers soared, more than doubling in Genoa at least as far as the positives were concerned (380 on November 2, 824 on November 4). But it is also true that yesterday the infections in the Ligurian capital – even taking into account a lower number of tampons – were 524.
Although the medical order repeats that a blockade would be necessary, immediately, for the entire country, the president of the Liguria region continues to hope that it can be avoided.
“I do not think that the choice between dying from Covid and dying of hunger can be reduced, to summarize it in a brutal way – he said – it is understandable for doctors who raise their voices for a cry of pain from all health personnel and for the burden. work and the concern that many patients will accumulate ”, observes Toti. But “we need to find a series of measures that are balanced, in such a way that they demolish the patients of our hospitals and at the same time they do not wear out more, perhaps fatally this time, indeed, an economic system that has already suffered a lot.”
