Even if the fact is that they do few tampons first diagnosis, for lack of demand: yesterday the offer in the regional portal was unfulfilled for 56%, the demand stopped below 2,500.
With the knowledge that right now we can’t afford distractions, the Region focuses on the Safe Tuscany and Safe School plan to avoid third wave which would put everyone to the test, including the robustness of the health service, and put the mass vaccination plan (go to the article: THE ANTICOILIFE VACCINE: WHO CAN DO IT, HOW IT IS ADMINISTERED, SIDE EFFECTS).
Meanwhile, yesterday a Meadow, the Covid Pegaso center in the old Creaf facility. The first twenty patients to leave the Santo Stefano di Prato hospital wards, who still cannot return home, will be transferred on Monday to the new center that it currently has 191 intermediate care posts, to which others will be added, up to a maximum of 150.
“There could have been a field hospital here,” the governor said. Eugene Giani proudly presenting the structure – Instead, there is a real hospital, the first built in Italy in the second wave Covid ». A structure conceived on November 9 and delivered in record time. In Tuscany there will be 550 more places to attend new emergencies: 150 in the sister structure to the one inaugurated yesterday, 150 in the Campo di Marte citadel in Lucca (ready on December 22) and 60 Covid seats in Santo Stefano.
With the expansion of reception capabilities, the Region focuses on tests. The draft swab ordinance is ready, in which rapid antigen tests will take off, also for a diagnostic part, as well as for screening: it should be signed by the end of this week, when the Tuscany Safe School plans are completed and protected. The work table at the school is scheduled for Friday in the Region, by the Councilor for Health Simone Bezzini, with the regional office of the school, Anci and Upi. The draft provides different avenues for suspected cases of school-age children registered outside the school setting or for school (where the rapid antigen swab will be done immediately or in the nearest unit). The follow-up will be carried out the same day of the notification positivity.
Great space for put on screen to detect the presence of asymptomatic that create the substrate for the spread of the virus. The surveillance program foresees a follow-up work with antigen tests on a sample of 100 students per school from 200 Tuscan secondary schools: the campaign will begin on January 15 and will continue until May 30.
