Milan, November 8, 2020 – Outbreak next to. If infections in Milan continue to worry, due to the growing trend and the number of patients obstructing hospitals, to the point that the province and the capital alone account for 38% of the positives in the entire region, the problem less conspicuous (but no less insidious) are the small contagion groups. Many of which nest in small provincial towns, where the difficulties of health facilities to track and isolate cases make it more difficult to nip the chain of virus spread. The regional data themselves convey a clear picture of the situation in the deep province of Lombardy. That for each territory, the municipalities where the incidence of Covid cases in the population is higher stand out. In this unenviable ranking, as of November 6, the center with the highest ratio is the small Menconic where 358 inhabitants live clinging to the ups and downs of the Staffora valley, in the Oltrepò Pavese. Here, with 38 positives, the proportion is greater than 10 percent. The average of the most exposed province, Milan, is 2.77%.

Very deep inside Low cremonese A stone’s throw from the Po, Cingia de ‘Botti, with approximately 1,200 inhabitants and 92 positives, reaches 7.54% of Covid cases of the total population. But it’s still in Pavese, in Albonese, deep Lomellina – again with 38 cases – where 7.17% of the 532 residents are positive. Separated, but not by long, the 68 infected with Morimondo, in the Milan area, where 6.27% of the population, 1,057 people gathered around an old abbey (and a retirement home) have contracted the virus. Sometimes it is the retirement homes that provide the key to understanding the birth of these little sprouts. Population centers equipped with structures where the virus has spread silently. It is the case of Concorezzo, in Brianza, with 508 cases and 3.23% positive, out of a provincial average of 2.71%. Nursing home infections here have had a much bigger impact than transportation or nightlife. Sometimes, in a small population, the weight of 30 or 40 sick elderly in an RSA can cause the data for a small municipality to go out of scale. But other cases are not explained by the presence of nursing homes, but are often only due to specific outbreaks and, in many ways unpredictable, of a local nature, often of a family nature. In the list of the centers most affected by the virus in Lombardy, however, there are also medium-sized municipalities where small outbreaks may not be enough to increase the incidence. It is the case of Melegnano, second in the province of Milan for positives with respect to the population, with 686 cases, equivalent to 3.76%. Here, a precise explanation, in addition to the proximity to theLodi old red light district and with Milan, it has yet to be found.
