Covid Toscana, Giani: “At the beginning of December we could be in the orange band”

Florence, November 19, 2020 – «We are moving towards a possibility of re-entering the orange band for the first days of December, or more towards the middle of December but the important thing is that this perspective can exist ». Affirmed it Eugenio Giani, president of the Tuscany Region, on a direct Facebook. Those hospitalized by Covid “today are 2,101, we proceed with no more than 10-15 more hospitalizations in the last two or three days, our hospital system is digesting this opportunity,” explained Giani, recalling that “for intensive care we have 287 occupied places, in Tuscany we have a total of 550, and our employment rate is around 50%: therefore we have the possibility to face the situation, today there have only been five new hospitalizations ».

As for the tracking of positives, the work of the ‘tracers in Florence, Arezzo and Carrara’ is raising the figure -added the governor- from 37% that we had transmitted for the week that began on November 1, and that later had brought to the red zone: today we have a 90% level of monitoring ». For Giani “the sacrifices that are being made are being used to get us out of a health emergency that was very strong in October, when in a week of 2,500 infected we went to 15,000, but then gradually stabilized.”
