To curb the pandemic, which is spreading rapidly, the province of Bolzano is organized next weekend carpet tests in all municipalities. Massive Quick Swab Screening, to be held November 20-22, 350,000 South Tyrolese (a large part of the population, which has 501,000 inhabitants), “is the turning point to leave the red zone and spend a fairly quiet Christmas.” So said Governor Arno Kompatscher, and reiterated that “the more citizens participate, the greater the success.” Those who test positive will be quarantined for ten days.
Today, South Tyrol records a new record for positive swabs since the beginning of the pandemic. In fact, 820 new cases were registered in the last 24 hours out of 3183 swabs analyzed. So far, the highest value ever recorded was Nov. 8 with 781.
The health company bulletin also reports 9 deaths, bringing the total number to 374. In normal hospital wards 343 Covid patients (+5) are hospitalized, while in private structures the number remains unchanged at 110. Admissions to intensive care, even in light of deaths, the number of people in home isolation drops from 42 to 41. The number of people in home isolation is close to 9000 (8782).
The massive projection of this size is unique in Italy. “The objective – explained the coordinator of the project Patrick Franzoni – is to take the replication index from 1.5 to 0.5”.
There will be 190 garrisons in all municipalities. According to Kompatscher, “participation is an act of responsibility towards loved ones, but also towards society.” The president said he was convinced of the legitimacy of the provision, which requires the test as a kind of “pass” to be able to return to work.
«I understand – he continued – the anger of the citizens by the succession of ordinances, also because they see their life projects in danger. That is precisely why we must do everything possible to get out of it as soon as possible.
Who does not, cannot work. One part that is causing controversy about this ordinance is the one related to the subsequent quarantine, et al. prohibition of going to the workplace for those who do not take the exam The Province recalled that those who do not undergo the test must stay at home for ten days, and on those days they will be put on forced vacation.
Another problem: there are hundreds of workers in companies in South Tyrol who, however, come from other provinces or reside in other regions. They are excluded from the selection and will therefore be forced to stay on vacation.
“Mass screening is a step towards normalcy,” added Thomas Widmann, who reiterated that hospitals are now in trouble.
The Councilor for Civil Protection, Arnold Schuler, has announced that the mass inspection will be carried out by some 800 operators, while the ordering service will be carried out by volunteers, such as firefighters. Franzoni reiterated The “high precision” of the fast pador (the same whose results the Trentino city council does not count among the positives because “the results are not reliable”).
The Elisabetta Pagani microbiology primary school reported that the tests are provided in part by the national civil protection and in part through procedures of the health authority at a cost of 6.50 euros.
A mass recruitment targeting campaign has started on social media, scheduled for next weekend in South Tyrol.
“We have reached a point where we must join forces to tackle the #coronavirus crisis. The White Cross and the Red Cross are trying to support the mass detection project in South Tyrol with all their resources. The action will take place from Friday, November 20 to Sunday, November 22. Some 184 projection stations will be installed throughout the province ”, writes the White Cross on Facebook. “We address all doctors and nurses in Italy and abroad who do not have an employment contract with the South Tyrol Health Authority. If in any way possible, participate in this campaign ”, concludes the post.
Projection in the masses of this type have been launched for some time in Germany, where they have contributed to the containment of the infection in the areas of greatest risk.
