Surgical interventions”, red zones even in a few buildings, where cases are concentrated COVID-19. And the possibility of making outdoor masks mandatory, as was the case in Paris, if the contagion curve continues to rise. “We expected a resumption of cases, unfortunately there are many asymptomatic patients in circulation,” says Alessio D’Amato, Lazio’s health counselor, at the end of a day that raised the alert level in the region: 238 cases, never so many, 141 only in Rome. In Pisana they do not want to create scaremongering, but under the radar they are working on a strategy to contain the virus, in case the situation worsens.
Covid Lazio, today’s newsletter September 22: 238 new cases, the highest figure in history. In Rome 141 infections
Covid in Rome, the teacher: “Your daughter has a cough from coronavirus, come find her”
CLOSURES
The idea is to mount new red zones. The first could involve Pontino Sur, in the area of the fish market that has become a conglomerate, with dozens of infected people. But it is a scheme that can also be applied in the city, in very small areas: condominiums, complexes of buildings. “We have experimented with different models since the beginning of the confinement – continues Commissioner D’Amato – for example in the municipality of Nerola or in Fondi, or in some buildings in Rome, such as the old Palazzo Selam. The other measure that experts from the regional health system think about is the obligation to wear an outdoor mask. Not only in the case of social gatherings, as is the case today. “It is a classic measure – D’Amato explains – it has already been implemented in other European capitals when cases have increased exponentially, I am thinking of Paris for example.”
THE MASKS
Since the end of August, the obligation to always wear a mask in public places came into force in Île-de-France, the only exception for those who eat, smoke, jog or ride a bicycle. In Rome the situation is not so worrying, but it is a card that Pisana is ready to play, if the daily bulletin of the sick becomes even heavier in the coming weeks. The Region is also carefully studying government measures to reopen stadiums to the public. After the advance flight of some regions, Emilia, Veneto and Lombardy, the access of a thousand fans was authorized in outdoor facilities throughout Italy. The number of spectators admitted to each structure will be indicated later, depending on the capacity. Lazio is against: “This is not the priority – Councilor D’Amato is convinced – there is a risk of sending the wrong message at a time when cases are increasing and we must focus on resuming lessons in schools and universities.” Hospital admissions are also growing: yesterday 482 patients were treated in Covid wards, a month ago they were half. Hospitals have already started reinforcing beds. “The critical threshold is very far, fortunately – concludes the Councilor for Health – but we must be prepared.”Last update: September 23 at 01:06 © REPRODUCTION RESERVED
