“The numbers are affected by Sunday as regards the number of discharged: 3,398 molecular swabs and 1403 antigenic and 309 the new infected with the peak of 104 new positives in Savona. Cases not related to a cluster, but mostly linked to school infections. Hospitalizations are growing of 19 units, with very few resignations. I know that health care has been under strain for a very long time, also taking into account the vaccination plan that is borne by the regional health, but an additional effort is also needed on weekends“. He said it the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti in the usual press point on Covid.
Covid, Liguria: the situation of the president Giovanni Toti
“Our companies are doing a high number of swabs and vaccines – Toti continued – We have achieved the goal of 19,000 per week, indeed even more, but it is also necessary that the wards and the convalescent structures also work on weekends ”. “As for the hospitalized – added the president – we are below our guard levels, equal to 571 in total and 54 people in intensive care, with 12 more hospitalized in Savona, 6 more in ASL 1, while the downward trend continues in ASL 5. The list of deaths speaks of 6 people, therefore, a declining trend “.
Vaccines in Liguria
“I’m 3435 vaccines administered and 121,461 doses performed since the beginning of the campaign, 124,896 doses administered on 194,180 vaccines delivered, equal to 64% – said Toti – From oggi we will begin distributing AstraZeneca vaccines to priority categories and those categories that are able to administer them autonomously, such as the police, the Fire Brigade, the Customs Agency, the University, the Municipal Police. We will of course carry out a check to verify.
For those who have to turn to general practitioners, like in teachers or other categories, including fragile subjects, the booking will start from March 9thTo Opear of family doctors, through the booking agendas that Liguria Digitale is refining.
It will be anyway the family doctor to qualify the ultra frailty of a patient. We are also accelerating vaccinations in Asl 1, due to the fact that ihe Ventimiglia district remains with a high incidence of new positives such as the health district 2. We are in these very hours evaluating the situation to re-calibrate the measures that we have hired, beyond the Ventimiglia district. We gave indication to the ASL1 to accelerate not only on the over 80s, but also on the frailties under 65 which must be identified by the company through the exemptions. In light of the fact that that province heavily affects the regional health balance of the infection, due to the proximity of the Côte d’Azur, one of the most affected areas in Europe “.
The president also announced that the procedures for acquiring all data will be concluded this evening and between Wednesday and Thursday it will will present the vaccination plan for the frail and ultra frail. Also by the end of the week training for family doctors will be completed so that from vaccination can start on Monday 9 March.
“The vaccine bulletin – Toti communicated – it will no longer be double, but the regional one will flow into the national one skipping a step. This means that iThe number of vaccines will drop by around 4,000 compared to today, and it will take some time before coming to a system alignment, but it is only an accounting issue “.
