Eight positives in intensive care, infectious disease wards full of Brain and Civic
PALERMO – The coronavirus is also returning to Palermo and the province has been among the most affected on the island for a few days. Suffice it to say that the intensive care at the Cervelló hospital is once again ‘full’ and that in two days the cases have practically doubled. After the peak of the pandemic, registered in the three months of the confinement, the enormous number of hospitalizations seemed only a memory. Instead, eight patients who tested positive for Covid-19 are in serious condition and for them it was necessary to transfer them to the room where Baldo Renda is the main one, who explains:
Intensive ‘full’ therapy
“The escalation has occurred in the last 48 hours, until the total occupation of the beds. There are some patients with previous pathologies and of different ages, the oldest is 89 years old, the youngest is 45 and had no pathology ”. In most cases they would be people who came into contact more or less consciously with positive subjects, especially those who have returned from summer holidays abroad and from areas such as Malta or Croatia. But at the via Trabucco hospital there is also the entire infectious diseases department, with 22 hospitalized patients with symptoms, while another ten are in Pneumology. On the Covid front, the Civic is also back on track, where 18 Coronavirus-positive people have been hospitalized in recent days. Their condition would be under control, they are in the infectious disease ward, none of them needed to be transferred to intensive care. Some patients come from the Trapanese, in which several cases have been traced in recent days, mainly attributable to the Salemi outbreak, connected to the positivity of the restaurant owner.
Escalation of cases in the province and in Rap
Cases also in Partinico, Borgetto and even Montelepre. And again in Cinisi, Terrasini and then Misilmeri, Belmonte Mezzagno, Villabate, Campofelice di Rocella and Bagheria. Among the infections registered yesterday in Palermo, that of the judge of the Court of Appeal, an emergency doctor from Cervello and a patient from the Candela clinic. But the number of cases among Rap employees continues to rise, where there are currently sixteen, and today a positive driver from Amat was also found, as well as a suspicious case at the IACP: an employee actually reported that he was in contact with two positive relatives and the investigations began. Meanwhile, the offices will be closed for two days.
School and call center: other positives
A Danilo Dolci High School janitor, a call center employee, was also infected an MSC employee working on the Grandiosa cruise ship: The Israeli woman tested positive but is asymptomatic and was taken to the Palacio de San Paolo, a facility that has been receiving Covid patients in Palermo since March. The diagnosis came at the end of a long sanitary protocol that, according to the MSC, “turns our boats into places of total safety: employees, in the case of foreign personnel, take a swab just before leaving their country of origin Then, before boarding, they carry out a second examination, and if the verification fails, they board the ship but are immediately quarantined in their rooms for 14 days. After isolation, before leaving the cabin they are subjected to a third swab , fast ”, which after a few hours, as happened yesterday in the Israeli citizen, confirms or reverses the initial diagnosis.
