Too many infections and too many tourists arriving. And so Governor Christian Solinas tries again. And it again proposes the ordinance that provided for mandatory tests for incoming passengers who did not show up for boarding with a certificate of negativity to Covid-19, or alternatively the mandatory swab.

The tar had suspended it. But the suspension of the judges expires tomorrow. And so Solinas proposed it again. Even if the TAR’s decision will arrive tomorrow, it will have to decide whether to confirm it or not.

The data. In Sardinia, the contagion curve has increased in line with the flow of massive tourists. The Sardinia Region had contained the spread of the virus with a number of confirmed infections close to zero until the end of July 2020. But in the last two weeks the number of subjects in home isolation has grown by around 650 units, tripling the percentage figure . relative to the peak of the blocking period (more than 2,190 cases). In the last two weeks, the number of patients hospitalized in non-intensive wards has increased by about 14 units, thus reaching the percentage figure for the period of confinement (about 116 cases).

And the number of subjects currently hospitalized in intensive care is equal to 19 units with a notable increase, in the last two weeks, closely linked and proportional to the exponential increase in deaths, from 140 to 156 (16 deaths).

The exponential increase in the subjects who tested positive must be related, on the one hand, to the real number of free beds (14 units in intensive care and 28 units in semi-intensive care). According to data on projected arrivals of ferries and aircraft, more than 100,000 landings and around 300,000 arrivals per plane are expected in the October / November / December quarter.

Then there is the bulletin issued by the regional crisis unit that registers up to 111 cases, “that is, a given percentage never registered even during the period of confinement, to highlight the risk of a real emergency that imposes the need and urgency.” intervene to protect the right to health of people “.

And so Solinas “by virtue of Sardinia’s insular condition, the consequent limited number of access points and the size of the regional health service, which, although considerably strengthened in the structures and departments especially dedicated to the treatment of Covid diseases, could face the resumption of viral diffusion with figures exponentially higher than its capacity to provide services, connected to the foreseeable tourist flows in the current month “, considers that” a reinforced preventive control system of arrivals is necessary to further filter the possibility of new viral circulation. “
