Zaia Press Point December 7
The president of the Region Luca Zaia makes a new update on the situation related to Covid-19 in Veneto live from the headquarters of the Regional Civil Protection in Marghera.
LIVE
MORE INFECTIONS IN VENETO THAN IN LOMBARDY
More infections in Veneto over two days on the weekend than in Lombardy? “Depends on how many swabs are made,” is Zaia’s reply. We should not look at the absolute number, but at the relationship between positives and swabs. We have 6.93% of the positives in the swabs, both molecular and fast ”.
PRESSURE IN HOSPITALS
“The contagion curve is decreasing slightly but the pressure in hospitals is there and it is visible: we have 572 intensive therapies occupied in Veneto between covid and non-covid, or 50 more intensive therapies than in March. Our potential is a thousand places.
CONTACT TRACING ELEVATO
«Difficult period in which to avoid encounters and occasions for the spread of the virus. Let’s not stop to look at the absolute numbers, the real data are two: the percentage of swabs that each community makes on its inhabitants and the percentage of positives in the swabs that are made. According to our data, we are in the accident of just over 6 percent. We have 72 thousand positive people because we have 85 percent contact tracing, the tests are done on the population that has come into contact with a positive one ”
THE UNIVERSITY STUDY
“We asked the University of Padua, Professor Baldo, to do a study on an indistinct population, casual, so to speak, not on people who have somehow been exposed to the risk of contagion as has always been the case until now” . ‘It will refer to the whole of Veneto. I am not aware that others in Italy have done it, that there are similar studies. It seems strange to me that it has not been imposed on public health ”.
THE COVID NEWSLETTER
The new positives in Veneto in the last 24 hours are 2,550. Veneto President Luca Zaia says so. There are 51 more deaths, a total of 4261. The incidence of positives in tampons made is now 6.93%. There are 2,775 hospitalized in the non-critical area and 340 in intensive care. Among Covid and non-Covid patients, the intensive care units occupied in Veneto are 572, 50 places more occupied than the peak in March, when the closure occurred (therefore, no traffic accidents, at work, other diseases, etc. .) Our potential is 1000 ICU.
BAD WEATHER
“Yesterday there was more water than 2010. If we had not done the works, despite the appeals and expropriations, Vicenza would have sunk. Jobs that haven’t been done in 80 years. Hydrogeological instability will continue to exist, we can only channel the energy of nature to do the least possible damage. . President Luca Zaia says so.
The appeal not to go to the mountains. “I appeal to everyone not to obstruct the rescue on the mountain. Yesterday, the police sent many tourists home. We have cyclopean landslides, we are in “trouble”, do not come to do macabre tourism, do your Instagram stories elsewhere ».
This is Councilor Bottaccin. “As for the rain, the worst phase has passed, we have a few hours of respite but the rains will continue in the coming days. The floods of the rivers have passed and there should be no particular problem, we have a high risk of avalanches in the upper part of the Belluno area ”
Damage estimation. “It rained even more than the 1966 flood (when there were more than 100 deaths). Vaia is the only event recorded in Veneto where there was more rainfall. “In 2010 we had more than a billion euros in damages, here we are already in half a billion damages. I have already declared the state of open crisis, gradually the affected municipalities are being added.
Avalanches. «High risk in the upper part of the province of Belluno. Landslides: the important one blocked the Val di Zoldo, but there are also others in the province of Belluno, Vicenza and Treviso. The Perarolo landslide began to move with such speed that we are evaluating the evacuation of some people. Misurina should be reopened. The rivers at this time are under control.
THE INTERVIEW WITH ZAIA
«The virus runs more because we have not done the blockade. Citizens must understand that they should not create gatherings and instead, on occasions, continue to channel themselves into potentially risky situations ”. Thus the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia, in an interview with La Repubblica in which he warns: «The yellow zone will not stay for life. If the rules are not respected, the restrictions will come.
Regarding the fact that Veneto is the region most affected by Covid, “it is necessary to know how to read the data. It is true that we have a high number of positives, but we do 60,000 swabs a day. The absolute numbers, by themselves, do not mean anything ”, emphasizes Zaia.
“We are the ones with the highest contact tracing in Italy: 85%. When there is a positive person, we intercept co-workers, friends, family. And we all give. The infection is there but we are managing it.
