The mayors of the Empolese Valdelsa write to the president of the Region Eugenio Giani to express all their concerns

Strong concern about the exponential increase in infections and the increasingly difficult situation in hospitals. This is what the mayors of the Municipalities of Empolese Valdelsa express in a letter addressed to the President of the Region Eugenio Giani.

The growing concern derived from the epidemiological trend of Covid 19 in the north-central area of ​​Tuscany, which includes those productive areas such as Empolese Valdelsa where the spread of the virus runs faster, has convinced the mayors to request a new verification of the data and possibly even more drastic measures.

“The new DPCM – declares the president of the Union of Municipalities Empolese Valdelsa, Alessio Falorni – has introduced a differentiated contagion risk regime that places Tuscany in the yellow zone, therefore within a moderately acceptable framework for the spread of infection, but this does not find correspondence in the data for a large area of ​​our region. “

The territories of the Empolese Valdelsa – it is explained in the letter – do not have very different numbers from those of the most affected areas of Lombardy or Piedmont.

In addition – we read – if it is true that the 21 indicators used for the attribution of the “color of risk” to the regions, or part of their territories, have a medical-sanitary character, they are precisely the news and the data that come from the hospitals . of the area that cause more alarm and herald the danger of a spread of the infection “out of control”.

“The San Giuseppe hospital in Empoli – explains Alessio Spinelli, president of the Empolese Valdarno Valdelsa Health Society – has increased the settings for Covid patients, to the detriment of additional Covid services, who run the risk of not being satisfied.

Without forgetting that intensive care is now saturated and that infections also affect medical-health personnel with increasing frequency and therefore with great difficulty in replacement.

The ER is in trouble and directs many people with additional Covid pathologies to Careggi. Added to all this is the critical situation of three RSAs in the area, assumed by the ASL service, where unfortunately there have also been deaths ”.

Due to all this and due to the feeling of anxiety and helplessness that is affecting them, the mayors of Empolese Valdelsa have urgently requested immediate monitoring of the epidemiological evolution in the most affected areas of the region so that the exact classification of “Risk of contagion ”, With measures that reflect the real scenario of virus spread.
