TURIN. The request for an immediate red zone throughout Piedmont comes from the Order of Doctors and the union of white coats. The epidemiological situation sees a constant increase, day after day, of infections and hospitalizations due to Covid-19, “with the specific risk of saturation of hospital wards – reads a press release from the Order.” “We have estimates according to which the incidence of positive people in Piedmont, which on March 7 was 277 per 100,000 inhabitants, could double in the next two weeks – underlines the president of the Order of Doctors Guido Giustetto -. It is crazy that the government makes decisions based on polls dating back 10 days. Intervening when the situation is out of control is useless.
For doctors there is talk of “establishing a” red zone “in our region starting next week. On the other hand, we believe that the red zone should start immediately: waiting a few more days before proceeding with new measures does not make sense either from a health point of view or from an economic and social point of view ”.

The same has been heard by the Regional Secretariat of Anaao Assomed Piemonte: «The postponement of the restrictions allows the infection to spread to such an extent that the recovery will be more complex and delayed. The trend of infection and the pressure on hospitals classify us as a red zone. Postponing it will cause, in addition to greater damage to the economy and an exponential spread of the infection, especially a greater number of deaths. That they are people, not numbers. With a name, a few affections, a story of its own.
And they add: “We ask the Region to make courageous and painful decisions to protect its citizens, and to take them as soon as possible. Without waiting for central decisions, because the lost time corresponds to the loss of life and productive activities in greater difficulty. If the red zone must be, as the numbers tell us, it must be immediately.
