the The virus is hitting hospitals and healthcare facilities again. Yesterday the positivity of a primary school in the surgical area of ​​Santa Maria di Terni was confirmed. These days, the top was not in the room. Patients and colleagues in the department tested negative on the first swab.
Another positive reported in the Perugia hospital, in the radiology department: it would be a radiologist who was not on duty in recent days. In both cases, the infections would have occurred outside the hospitals. A general practitioner tested positive in Spoleto. A relative works in the Terni tax agency: the offices are closed. Terni hospital officially went into Covid mode yesterday.
Ditto Perugia.
Epidemiological investigations of hygiene departments continue to slow down: the increase in cases in the green heart has caused cases to accumulate on cases yet to be investigated. The staff, who work non-stop, are not enough at the moment. Work is being done to strengthen it. There is also the hypothesis that the employees of the Umbria regional digital agency are employed. Last week, more than 120 epidemiological investigations to eliminate had accumulated in a single hygiene department, that of Perugia. The time between positive swab results and phone calls made to potential contacts is increasing. At the moment, it takes three to four days. Meanwhile, the chain of contagion runs the risk of multiplying with numerous potentially positive subjects not tracked, and therefore not buffered or isolated in case of positivity, during the internal days.
The goal is to strengthen the offices with additional supports and expand the audience of those who can take samples and begin the first positive tracing paths.
Among the hypotheses is to entrust this task also to pediatricians and general practitioners. Palazzo Donini offices must issue an ad hoc resolution.
