The curve of contagion that rises, the new shocks that widen in patches in the different quadrants of the city. With the fear that, after the opening of the schools and the return to the offices after the long months of closures, the number of patients could rise again filling the intensive care units. Therefore, the plan is to organize “mini-confinements” with small areas to monitor. At the moment there is no alarm and the curve is under control, we have to prepare for the winter months ”. The warning comes from Pier Luigi Bartoletti, doctor and head of the Oscars, the special unit of the Lazio region announcing: «Today it is the family groups that are causing concern. Infections in families can explode and what we register at the beginning of the pandemic in nursing homes can pass. The objective, therefore, is to speed up the time to recognize the positive ones, the asymptomatic ones and isolate them. «Because – points out Bartoletti – Only with a quick diagnosis can we control transmission within families. Now it is clear that this virus is changing – he explains – we must be prepared to change the protocol and intervention strategy. As it had happened in the summer months, when a high percentage of returning infections and arriving tourists were discovered. The Ministry of Health has taken follow-up measures to the Lazio region for entrances to the city. Containment that slowed down the chain of transmission. For this reason, the mobile units, the Uscar, were activated in airports and stations: the system that made it possible to shorten the diagnosis time.
Covid Lazio, the bulletin: 195 cases, only in Rome 135. D’Amato: “In Sant’Eugenio new drive-in for children from 0 to 6 years old”
CIRCUMSCRIBED CLOSURES
The hypothesis is to proceed with a “mini blockade”. Small red areas such as streets and buildings where to isolate families or patients who will be infected: «The plan – underlines the head of Uscar – is to isolate families and possible contacts. Right now there are several clusters that we are following, in many cases they are relatives that have infected each other. We are trying to contain them. That is why we are evaluating “mini” zone closures ». An increase in the number of patients is still expected in the first week of October: «The care is now in the schools – continues Bartoletti – they resumed on September 14. However, to understand what is happening, we must wait at least 20 days. In the meantime, we must prepare with the tests and not forget about all the rules of social distancing. Children could infect each other, their teachers, and then, once home, infect their parents. Attention – he says – must remain high ». Then there is one more question: the first seasonal influences have already arrived with the risk that they can be mistaken for Covid. “We have already registered the first cases of“ rotavirus ”, fever, but now more than ever – adds Bartoletti – we must be able to distinguish a normal flu from the coronavirus also so as not to overload the laboratories. As soon as the above average temperature is recorded, the test or swab is requested. Also in this case, the only possibility of not being overwhelmed by a new wave is to be quick in the diagnosis and organized. However, the first vaccines against seasonal infections began: “The objective is to prepare and organize an intervention plan that takes into account not only treatment, but also prevention.”
