"The patients - the Region informs - were taken in charge by the regional health service and the test samples sent to the Istituto Superiore di Sanità".

It would be a fifty year old who would have contracted the virus in a Treviso hospital, Ca 'Foncello, during a visit to a hospitalized relative. The man, who is not in serious condition, is in home quarantine, as are the people (relatives) who have come into contact with him. For the moment, the return to normal plan announced yesterday by the President of the Region, Massimiliano Fedriga, has not changed.

In Lombardy, to date 85 in resuscitation
"At the moment there are 85 patients hospitalized in intensive care in Lombardy" said the councilor for Education, training and work of the Lombardy Region, Melania Rizzoli.

Ricciardi: decisive two weeks to understand
The timing of the emergency depends on the precautions that will be taken, not only in Italy, but all over the world. The measures aimed at limiting the contact between people "here must continue for at least another week". The epidemiologist Walter Ricciardi says it in an interview with Qn. The measures concern the closure of all areas where there is high circulation of the virus, closed and crowded environments, and the school falls within this area. British and Japanese are even considering a protracted closure for two months. "

Ricciardi realizes that the restrictions "generate anxiety, but it is the right thing to do. The next two weeks will be decisive for understanding how the Italian situation evolves". Meanwhile, "I have spoken to the rectors of various universities", who are gearing up for internet teaching. "Internationally, Germany and France," are the countries that are likely to follow us in this evolution, "explains the scientist who he does not think that the epidemic will end with the arrival of summer: "The fate of this crisis will be tied to the choices we will make." Intensive care units are crowded with us, while in France and Germany still not, because "we have had what in technical terms is defined as hospital shedding. German cases have been confined to a community. Unfortunately, a sick person went to the hospital and the virus spread to other patients, visitors, doctors ". WHO with its indications" has been consistent in these days ". And in Italy" where I am Councilor of the Ministry of Health for four days, it seems to me that the communication so far is correct ".

Gauls: rising tide of demanding patients
The virus has shown that it has evaded surveillance criteria and has effectively conquered a part of Italy. "Something serious is happening, not only in Italy but also in Germany and France, which could soon find themselves in our same conditions, and I do not wish it. We are dealing with a rising tide of demanding patients". This was explained in an interview with Corriere della Sera Massimo Galli, primary infectious disease specialist at the Sacco hospital in Milan.

"The serious clinical pictures do not suggest that the infection is recent - he says -. Inpatients are likely to have two to four weeks of time elapsed from the moment they took the virus to the development of very serious symptoms". The situation "is frankly emergency from the point of view of the health organization. It is the equivalent of the tsunami for the number of patients with important diseases hospitalized all together". With the government's precautionary measures "everything that was possible has been done and now we must continue with the restrictions, trying to avoid crowding as much as possible".

The virus in our country "was already circulating before the end of January also judging by the surge in the last few days". The infections, for the most part "date back to early February, some even earlier". The disease "develops slowly" and "is expressed in its maximum severity even 7-10 days after the appearance of the first symptoms. It is very probable that behind all serious patients there are just as many infected but less serious". Even the best health organization in the world, "and we are among them, risks not bearing such an impact". Metropolitan areas "have so far remained outside the red zone and we hope they will remain so".
