A protocol of care actions to keep Covid patients at home as much as possible, avoiding or delaying hospitalization. The infectious disease specialists of the San Martino Polyclinic hospital, led by the director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic, Matteo Bassetti, and the Ligurian general practitioners, represented by Fimmg, developed it yesterday in the Region. Starting Monday, family doctors will have a protocol, actions and monitoring parameters, studied with infectious diseases, to decide when and whether to hospitalize their Covid patients. And at the same time, for the first time, all of Liguria, with Alisa, and the same infectious diseases team will have a protocol for hospital doctors to decide whether to hospitalize and discharge Covid patients, uniformly throughout the region. “The criteria for hospitalization and de-hospitalization in Liguria will be national – Bassetti announced – I have just been appointed scientific coordinator of the Italian group of Agenas, the National Agency for Regional Health Services that will develop the procedure at a general level.”
Liguria meanwhile remains as Damocles, under the suspended sword of the orange color, in the Covid risk ranking: President Giovanni Toti himself awaits an update, which could arrive in the middle of next week, raising the alert level to orange for Liguria. , in light of the new updated data, which even yesterday, at the summit between the Presidents of the Regions and Minister Speranza asked Liguria to update itself. “The province of Genoa has a very complex hospital burden – Toti explained yesterday – I do not exclude that, in the next few hours, we will have to make assessments about the location of the region. But I do not accept insinuations about the quality of the data that we transmit to the ministry, they are accurate, even if someone questions them. “And here Toti returns to the united front of the opposition of the Region that yesterday asked to make public and accessible all the data of contagion: “Data management and tracking allows you to decide what the risk is for each Region, starting with the Rt calculation, which defines how fast the virus runs. Incomplete data and insufficient follow-up risk of giving a “partial” reading that does not correspond to the seriousness of the situation “, say Pd, Lista Sansa, M5s and Linea Condivisa. Also, yesterday Walter Ricciardi, scientific advisor to Minister Speranza, explained that the data “comes from the regions, so if the Regions send them promptly, completely and adequately, decisions are made on the actual data. insufficient, the region is assigned a lower color. “
Meanwhile, in Asl3, where the highest number of new infections is registered, the screening campaign does not stop: yesterday the new buffer point of the Genoa Fair began to work, doubling the Quarto operation. Then, the free access clinic in the Commenda will move to Porto Antico, in Porta Siberia on Monday. “The goal is to reach 1000 rapid tests per day in Als3,” says Luigi Carlo Bottaro, CEO of Asl3.
