ANCONA – From 2,547 swabs on November 12 to 1,220 yesterday. In less than two weeks, the daily number of molecular tests of the new diagnostic pathway, the first swab that is subjected to a person, has been reduced to more than half, that is, without taking into account the repeated tests to the same diagnostic case to make more controls or certify its recovery. of Sars-Cov-2 infection. The highest figure recorded daily from February, to the penultimate of the entire month of November, has fallen, excluding Sundays, which are lighter due to less activity in some laboratories.

And it is not an occasional stumbling block, but a trend that in the last week has led our region to be the black jersey in Italy due to the number of tampons manufactured in relation to the population. In November, the Marches had always floated, in the ranking of the 21 autonomous communities and provinces based on the weekly incidence of tampons per 100 thousand inhabitants, between position 17 and 19. But since last Saturday, with a new descent, has consistently held the last position. The weekly incidence, in the official data updated to Monday, is 718 inhabitants evaluated in 7 days for every 100 thousand residents in Marche. A value very far from that of Lazio, which leads the ranking with 2,623, but also in regions close to the Marches such as Abruzzo (1,087 swabs per 100,000 inhabitants), Umbria (1,301), while Tuscany has almost doubled us, with 1,395 . Black jersey for three consecutive days, although in the last update last night the Marches, despite falling to an incidence of 717, surpassed Veneto, a much more populated region, stopping at 706.
Mastrovincenzo alert
The regional councilor of the Democratic Party Antonio Mastrovincenzo had noticed the trend, with a post on social networks in which on Sunday he reported that “on Friday our Region was the last for swabs dedicated to new diagnoses: just 103 per 100,000 inhabitants” . A fact that is anything but occasional. In the last week in the Marche region, 10,970 first swabs were made (on average 1,563 per day) while in the previous week they were 13,508 (1,930 per day) and in the previous one there were still 12,655.
The fewer swabs that are made, the fewer asymptomatic cases emerge (75% of the total in Marche in October) and the more difficult it is to contain the spread of the virus by tracing contacts and isolating infected people who can infect others. And the viral RNA molecular test, the so-called swab, is the only one that certifies with certainty the positivity or not. From February to today, 229,438 swabs of the first diagnostic pathway have been analyzed in the Marche region, which is equivalent to 15% of the population, to which are added another 165,155 between retests in the same person and analysis of the pathway cured. The latest instant report from Altems, the Catholic University’s high school of economics and health systems management, also revealed that the Marches were in trouble monitoring the epidemic. The data for the week 11-17 November showed for Marche a weekly rate of new tampons (also considering the repeated ones) of 13 per thousand inhabitants, while the Italian average was 21. A problem that must be left behind . “Testing for the presence of the virus – the report reminds us – is a fundamental aspect of fighting the pandemic. More evidence is urgently needed. ‘
