And the advance by the president of the Region is also more than a wish Stefano bonaccini: “The numbers say we can go back to the yellow zone“Which bodes well. is the contagion index Rt, that should be content below quota 1. “In our region it continues to fall – says Donini – this week it fell to 1.07, compared to 1.14 in the previous one.”

rest but the situation in the hospital wards is “urgent”. With a saturation of 49% in Covid departments (the index set by the Ministry is 40%), and 33% in intensive therapy (30% of the index value). This means that the departments “are holding out, but you have to watch the situation,” says Donini. Noting that, unlike other areas of the country, “we also continue to provide other health services.”
The gradual fall of the Rt index convinced Governor Stefano Bonaccini to issue a smoother order – at least for commercial activities – compared to the previous two. Starting today, medium-sized commercial structures (with an area of up to 2,500 square meters in municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants; up to 1,500 square meters in those with less than 10,000 inhabitants) can reopen on weekends. “The same – says the ordinance – will happen with the smaller stores, which also open on Sundays.”

Even yesterday, for the second day in a row, the number of cured was high: +3,281. This is the effect of the IT system upgrade on backward quarantines and isolations. However, in thousands of cases, those who received the disease closure certificate – thus being able to leave home – did not have the updated clinical record in the computer system, and remained in a no more quarantine required. The situation, assured the Region, “will normalize on Wednesday.” Donini and his colleague Vincenzo Colla (Councilor for Labor), asked the government that the rapid positive swab is sufficient for the diagnosis of Covid positivity and for the recognition of the disease for workers, without also having to do the molecular swab.
This, they point out Colla and Donini, “To avoid that the uncertainty in terms of coverage of absenteeism leads to the option of not submitting to the control, given the impossibility of enjoying timely coverage for illness.” by Emilia-Romagna have the ability for workers to perform quick swabs. But for the moment the molecular “double” is needed in cases of positive response. We hope – affirms Donini – that the Government listens to us and changes the legislation.
