“Today there are more than 46,000 new infections and 653 deaths. These are figures in progressive growth that tell us that the strength of the virus is still very significant, but we must make the effort to introduce these figures to understand that, thanks to the measures put in place, it is decreasing. «Today we trace the virus in the first moments of its existence, we find the asymptomatic ones. We couldn’t do it in the first phase, “he said. the extraordinary commissioner for the emergency Domenico Arcuri He added: “In the last four weeks, growth has waned and in the last week it has slowed. The growth is impetuous but its rate is slowing down.
Positive percentage and swabs – Another positive data to take into account, Arcuri emphasizes, is the percentage of positives in buffers made, a percentage that continues to decrease: “Last week it was 16%, today we are at 14%”.
Intensive care nuneri – Another encouraging fact: today only “0.5% of those infected are in intensive care, at the peak of the first wave the percentage was 6.7%”
Intensive care ventilators. The commissioner then announced that a distribution of ventilators is planned for 11,200 intensive care. “
Vaccination against covid in Italy
“In vaccines we are developing a plan: the first available will be that of Pfizer and Italy will receive 3.4 million doses in the second half of January,” explained Commissioner Arcuri. Who then went on to expose the vaccination campaign plan in preparation.
Who will be the first to get vaccinated? Still on the front of the first part of the anti-Covid vaccines, he explained that “1.7 million Italians will be vaccinated in the first month.” “Exposure to risk and frailty will be the parameters to determine who will be the first to receive the vaccine.”
Purchase of needles and syringes – On November 17, the Ministry of Health sent us the technical specifications and quantities of the syringes and needles that we will have to buy to ensure the administration of the first and other vaccines. I am confident that next Monday we will be able to prohibit the request for an offer to purchase syringes, needles and other essential accessories to guarantee administration. It will be a full-bodied and somewhat articulate purchase: there are at least three types of syringes and at least six needle sizes.
How long will the vaccination campaign last? “Based on forecasts, not yet validated, a significant part of the population may be vaccinated in the first half of next year or in the third quarter of next year”, specifies Arcuri. “We will have to see if all the authorization processes will be carried out and if all Italians want to receive the vaccine.” In general terms, the Commissioner stressed, the campaign will last for nine months. Therefore, in September it will be possible to vaccinate most of the population (at least those who want).
How many vaccines will arrive? Given that the first available will be from Pfizer, Arcuri added: “I think the quantity of vaccines that will reach our country will be an increasing quantity. And that in a few months we will be able to reach the so-called large-scale administration in 2021 “.
License for vaccinated? For now there is no obligation of vaccines, Arcuri said: “We are planning a computer platform that will allow you to manage the verification of the administration of the vaccine to know the names of the people who manufactured the vaccine and where they did it.” Regarding the possibility of a kind of “license” for those vaccinated, the commissioner added: “It will be possible and it will be the Ministry of Health that establishes specifically how.”
