The second wave of the coronavirus does not cease, cases increase, pressure on hospitals and regions that “close”, Lazio has recently arrived, following a national “protocol” and with the return of “self-certifications”: all caused by a real rebound in infections, with 15,199 cases of positivity, almost 4,500 more in 24 hours, and 127 deaths, a figure that dates back to May 22, when the deaths were 130.
The figures produced by the Ministry of Health leave no room for doubt: if the weekend data had suggested a slowdown, the registry of tampons (more than 177,000) registers an incidence compared to new cases equal to 8.5%, lower other countries, but growing compared to last week. Situation that the government faces with local authorities, regions and municipalities in particular, thanks to a protocol of specific initiatives, as has already happened with Lombardy and Campania that have implemented the first curfews, followed also by Piedmont, Liguria and Lazio.
One month of stoppage to circulation and unjustified displacement from 24 to 5 in the morning (from the night between Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October), 50% at a distance in High School, except the first years, and 75% at the University, except freshmen.
These are the measures that Lazio is preparing to launch, where today 1,219 new cases of more than 20,000 swabs have been registered, 16 deaths and 133 recovered (the ratio between swabs and positives rises to 5.9%).
The President of the Region Nicola Zingaretti is about to sign the new ordinance that will end all unnecessary movements in conjunction with the closure imposed by the new Dpcm. For reasons of force majeure, self-certification will be necessary.
“We expect an increase in the value of RT especially in the provinces, Rome is holding out”, said the regional health councilor, Alessio D’Amato, who also explained: “the hospital network has entered the seventh phase, about 3,000 are planned to be fully operational reserved seats for Covid “.
The ordinance also foresees an increase in the number of intensive care positions to 552. In addition, an expression of interest is expected to identify private facilities to perform 5,000 swabs a day.
“These are the most difficult days – stressed the commissioner – we need rigor and respect for distancing”. The increase in registered cases in recent weeks has also led to an increase in calls to 118. In the last month, one in 4 has involved cases of suspected Covid. According to what has been learned, in fact, compared to a year ago, requests for intervention for infectious and respiratory diseases have grown considerably, going from 2% in October 2019 to 25% today, the latter people who fear they have contracted the coronavirus .
Even today different the ambulances got stuck to the ER waiting for admissions. At 12 there were 30 in all regions, one of which had been detained for approximately 13 hours. In view of the second wave, the Ares 118 in Lazio at the beginning of October, however, increased the 250 ambulances it had available in the regional territory with 20 vehicles. While almost 2 thousand positives were found during surveillance activity in schools. Serological tests for school, teaching and non-teaching staff are close to 70,000. The ASL intervened in 1,077 institutes. There have been 75 schools with an outbreak so far and 1,993 infected so far, of which 1,670 students, mainly in upper secondary schools and 323 among school personnel. Schools closed for sanitation by ASL were 9. Meanwhile, experimentation continues with online booking at some drive-ins. Since yesterday 5,000 reservations have been made – said D’Amato – soon all units in Rome will have access only after booking online ”.
