Coronavirus, new peak in Puglia: 249 infections. Positive also worker from the former Ilva de Taranto
The number of infections continues to grow (on Friday, October 9, there were 249, one more than on Thursday) and once again the provinces of Bari and Foggia are worrying (with 66 and 87 new cases respectively). More than 90 percent of citizens who have contracted the virus are asymptomatic, but with the epidemic curve that does not stop, the number of hospitalized patients is also destined to increase (since yesterday, it should be noted, the Covid departments have welcomed 20 people in more). The regional working group is carefully examining the trend of the data. Intensive care is not under pressure, but that can change in a matter of weeks. And the day that Puglia, since the beginning of the emergency, has a total of 9,000 116 cases, Lopalco launches an appeal and explains that what makes the difference is personal behavior. The invitation to prudence is no longer enough. “We must understand that having social contacts with three or ten people is not the same. The ideal would be to go out alone to go to work, to school or in any case be careful not to have contact with a few people and always respect the rules ”, he says. Lopalco.
Schools, new cases of Covid also in the center of Bari. Decaro on the attack: “Enough of the parties”
And it is not a case. Because in the search for possible outbreaks, and therefore the origin of infections, it is increasingly evident that parties and coexistence gatherings, in many cases, have had a significant weight. For example, the seven employees of the Bari ASL Prevention Department who were infected, as well as the two children who attend the Mazzini school, who return from a crowded party at a city club, had attended a retirement dinner.
Coincidences? The truth, according to Lopalco, is that at this time it would be appropriate to limit social interactions. And when it is not possible. respect the distance and wear the masks. In the city of Bari, the contagion continues to grow with significant figures. There are more than 500 residents in home isolation (a number never reached during the emergency period). Only on Friday, October 9, in the communication sent by the prefecture to the City Council, 30 more cases were reported, after the 75 last Thursday. The small sprouts help fuel the spread of the virus.
Masks, what are the rules. The Vademecum of the municipal police of Bari
At the Mater Dei clinic, for example, after the first 17 doctors and nurses tested positive, another 15 operators became infected. And in the Tennis Club also a member tested positive: in recent days it was an employee of a restaurant who was infected. However, after the Piccinni and Mazzini cases, the situation in schools is not particularly worrisome. As well as in the rest of Puglia. Because, continues the epidemiologist Lopalco, “the schools at this time are working as a filter, that is, they allow us to do a screening, and there are no particular alarms.”
The Region is ready for next week to introduce rapid tests that will allow us to understand in just under 20 minutes if a student who has a fever or a cold has a simple respiratory virus or Covid.
