Umbria from yellow to orange, Donatella Tesei on SkyTg24
In the orange zone Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Tuscany and Umbria. The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, based on the data processed by the control room, signs a new ordinance that will be in effect as of Wednesday, November 11. The province of Bolzano has been confirmed in the red zone, while the regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Tuscany and Umbria will move to the orange zone.
Move Umbria to the orange zone?
“We take note of it. This was stated by the president of the Umbria region, Donatella Tesei, who spoke with SkyTg24. It is clear that this will affect bars, restaurants and all those businesses that have already suffered significant damage so far. I hope adjustment of economic measures. The government must now guarantee support for activities to deal with the crisis. This is not only a health emergency, it is also an economic emergency ”.
“We are not behind in anything – said Tesei. We are also working to equip family physicians with rapid antigen tests. We are the region that makes the most tests of all in proportion to the number of inhabitants ”.
Do we have a higher percentage of positives?
“We are capable of performing an average of more than 4 thousand swabs per day. In the first phase of the emergency we did not do more than a thousand. Do we have the highest percentage of new positives? Today the numbers are more comforting ”. This is how he answers the questions about Sky Tg 24. “You can go from one area to another very easily – he added – the epidemiological curve is advancing. I hope that all of Italy can soon return to the green zone, that is, to come out of the emergency. “
‘Serious situation, national problem of ICU beds’
“The situation is serious – reiterates President Tesei -. We started, before the emergency, with a low number of available ICUs, 59. From there we implemented. The lack of places in intensive care, the shortage of doctors and specialists is a national problem. For this reason, in a few days we will install a field hospital, next to the Asl hospital in Perugia with 37 more beds ”.
“As I have already said – explains the governor of Umbria – when we were in the yellow zone, the ministry’s is not a bulletin or a ranking, it is the analysis, through some parameters, of a situation that is developing throughout the world. National territory. The resulting restrictions, therefore, are not ‘punishments’ but measures to which we will adapt and that in part, like the dad in middle schools, we had already anticipated. It is important that the government now guarantees support to the economic sector because we cannot allow ourselves to leave pieces of the economy on the street ”, he emphasizes.
