October 14, 2020
The Coronavirus does not loosen its grip on our territory and the data provided by the Piacenza Ausl confirm this: the situation of the city hospital sees an increase in hospitalizations, to date 42, last week there were 31; a 55-year-old is in intensive care, but would not be in danger of death; three patients required an oxygen helmet in the pulmonology ward. “It is not a critical situation, the structure is prepared to accommodate much larger numbers,” he assures. the general manager Luca Baldino. The deaths, according to the health company, are still 993. Unfortunately, however, as a precaution, from the next few days until October 31, family visits will be suspended in all departments of the hospital.
Covid positives went from 98 to 237, more than doubling in one week. 50 percent is concentrated in the city of Piacenza. There was an increase among the youngest, 21 percent of the positives are minors, while those over eighty years fell. Growth is geometric, not linear. “Buffers increased last week from 5,000 to 7,500 because requests are increasing,” explains Baldino. Usca interventions also increased in altitude, reaching 336 home services. Quarantines doubled (1,211), the number of Covid isolation cases increased (382), and isolation from risk areas decreased (111).
Asymptomatic people make up more than half of those infected (56 percent). The so-called “positive minimums” are 30 percent and are concentrated in Cra. 40 percent of new cases were discovered through contact tracing, 19 percent through Usca and 10 percent through access to the emergency room.
