“The hospital system is under stress“: did not mince words Francesco Benazzi, director general of Ulss2, to frame the current health situation, which saw the return of the Vittorio Veneto hospital to Covid hospital, with the suspension of surgical operations and hospitalizations and the delegation of the first aid service to the other hospitals of the area.
Vittorio Veneto hospital with an offer of 100 beds, of which 72 are already occupied. Capacity slightly less than that of the San Camillo di Treviso, which has seen infections within the staff.
While the Castelfranco hospital remains Covid free, in Conegliano there are 12 hospitalizations in the normal ward and one in intensive care, while in Montebelluna there are 66 beds occupied, while two people are respectively in semi-intensive and intensive care.
Among the hospitalized in intensive care in Treviso also a 37 year old, with no previous pathologies, and a 44 year old.
“These two cases of ‘pure Covid’ show how we can all infect and be infected. – declared Francesco Benazzi – Venetian healthcare is ready, we are doubling the staff for tracing, but we must not try our luck”.
In the meantime, the drive-ins already active, to which another one will be added in Castelfranco in the second half of November, carried out a total of 128,757 swabs, for an average of about 5,000 swabs performed in one day, of which 1,188 only in the point of Conegliano yesterday, Thursday 5 November.
On the school front, however, 253 classes are under observation: 94 were placed in quarantine, because they had at least two cases of Covid-19 inside them, while the remaining 159, with a positive recorded, are in self-monitoring.
Reasoning by districts, in Treviso 33 classes are in quarantine and 64 in self-monitoring. In the district of Pieve di Soligo 25 are in quarantine and 41 in self-monitoring, numbers that change respectively to 35 and 54 in that of Asolo.
In Cornuda, where the number of positives has exceeded 100 cases, a class of elementary schools is in solitary confinement. The contagion curve has also risen in Revine Lago, where there are 17 positives in all.
“The situation in schools is on the move – explained Benazzi – and the rule applies, especially among young people, not to create groups and not to gather in homes, thus thinking they can be without a mask”.
If a total of 49,136 swabs were made in schools, of which 1,339, or 2.73 percent, was positive, the vaccines administered by family doctors to patients over 65 rose to 123,000, while for adults aged between 60 and 64 years old, for a total of 60 thousand people, vaccinations will be carried out on Saturdays 7, 14 and 21 November.
In this scenario, GPs will also give their contribution in terms of tampons and will be trained through a special in-depth video: those who do not present a sufficiently large study for this purpose will carry out the tampons in another location, according to agreements. still in the subscription phase. The same thing will also apply to pediatricians.
“Today we are at war and being in the yellow area is not a game of prizes, but a serious thing, because the transition to the orange area would cause an economic meltdown. – Benazzi explained – The virus has regained its strength: help each other and help us. If you experience cold symptoms or a low-grade fever, stay home and contact your family doctor first, rather than go to the hospital. “
On the contagion front, however, the data released by the Ministry of Health and relating to yesterday, Thursday 5 November, recorded 3,264 new cases, for an increase of 5 percent.
Currently the positives are 40,719, of which 39,393 in home isolation, while yesterday 15 were admitted to the intensive care unit and 86 to the normal ward, for an increase of 10.1 and 8 percent respectively.
On the other hand, there were 38 new deaths, up by 1.5 percent. There was also an increase in the number of healed, 43 yesterday, a figure corresponding to 0.2 percent.
