The Region itself explains the seriousness of the situation with a resolution of November 18 in which a precise timetable is drawn up of the new actions to be taken to prevent the second wave from putting the Apulian health system under water: “The situation Epidemiological disease worsens every day progressively, with an unprecedented impact on the stability of the health system. Some critical elements have been identified that, despite the previous actions, are believed to be corrected in the process – it is written in the document signed by the governor Michele Emiliano – The increase in the number of infected corresponds to an increase in the number of hospitalizations, with the consequent difficulty in managing patients in the emergency room, with an increase in waiting times and a related saturation of beds in hospital facilities. The increased diffusion in the number of screening cases corresponds to a difficulty in managing the volume of shoots and the response to the subjects subjected to swabs “.
Not only that: the Region also experiences physical and psychological stress from doctors and nurses due to workload and staff shortages. Furthermore, “the difficulty of supply structures to find products necessary for daily activities such as reagents, protection devices, equipment and medical equipment persists.” In light of all this, the Region considers that the correction of the course consisting of some actions to be implemented in a tight schedule is “urgent, as well as a duty for a more effective and efficient action to combat the Covid.” There are six interventions that must be implemented with the utmost urgency.
These include updating the hospital plan and the construction of temporary intensive care facilities “identifying as a priority three suitable areas to cover the territory of Apulia.” In practice, the model of the temporary hospital to be built at the Fiera del Levante in Bari will also be replicated in Foggia and Lecce. Immediate interventions also include the purchase of ambulances and the increase in sampling points for swabs “increasing the use of antigen tests.” However, within two weeks, the goal is to decongest emergency rooms by encouraging the follow-up of Covid patients at home through telemedicine. Finally, three actions to be carried out in thirty days: hiring doctors, nurses, social and health workers on a fixed-term basis for three years; Accelerate the acquisition and distribution of personal protective equipment and “implement actions aimed at providing health services outside of Covid with differentiated routes.”
