08 November 2020 "The first aid and emergencies are in crisis because the chain lacks territorial medicine. Today there are only 12 doctors on duty in Naples and 40 in the medical guard. What are they doing? I had asked to incorporate them even only to organize home visits for white codes, but they say their contract does not provide for it ".

and coordinator of the regional emergency network,

says so

. "Today the health service chain means survival of the population. Can a doctor stand by and look at the contract? They shirked this duty, they talk about the contract, here are the people assisted in cars in front of the hospitals and you say that the contract is not do you foresee it? ".

With the growth of cases of Covid infections, the hospitals of Naples are again suffering.

Scenes of cars and ambulances queuing for hours outside hospital emergency rooms with patients on board waiting to be hospitalized have become increasingly frequent.

They also document videos that the same operators, now exhausted, spread through social pages of the sector to tell what is happening in the region that could soon go from yellow to orange or even red with lockdowns such as Lombardy, Calabria and Valle d 'Aosta.

"There are lines of ambulances and private cars in all the hospitals of Naples, Cotugno, Cardarelli, Ospedale del Mare are all in total crisis in receiving covid patients", the alarm launched by Giuseppe Galano, head of 118 in Naples and coordinator of the regional emergency rescue network. 

The controversies in Naples are also at a political and institutional level.

"We have reached the point that, to save ourselves from real faults now evident, we just have to wait for the red zone with immediate refreshments for those who run out of money".

Luigi de Magistris considers this epilogue "a defeat, like the one we see, the only case in Europe, with schools closed for the little ones".

For the mayor of Naples "it is only the lockdown or the red zone that prevent people from going out as in these days and gathering".

"If the situation of hospitals is dramatic - says De Magistris - as appears from the testimonies collected, it probably means that those who declared Campania yellow zone were wrong, perhaps also because they were mistaken from non-current data, precise and correct provided by the regional offices. '' And returning to the controversy related to the crowd in Via Caracciolo, the promenade not forbidden as it happened instead in Salerno and Pozzuoli after the invitation of the President of the Region Vincenzo De Luca, de Magistris explains that " closing is not the solution to the images of the lines of ambulances and the collapse of hospitals, otherwise we would have already done so ".

" The city is vast and full of attractive places, even small ones - he reiterates - when you close a road or a square, people will move to other streets or squares ". The mayor then reiterates that" it is essential to reduce social relations, always wear masks

and be careful of the spacing ".

He assures us that the Municipality is committed "to doing concrete things, amid enormous difficulties, but we will not be overwhelmed by a debate that risks moving us away from the real solution of the problems".

Intensified checks by the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Naples to combat widespread illegality and compliance with anti Covid-19 regulations.

The city and province were garrisoned by hundreds of soldiers.

18 people were sanctioned in the city of Naples between the Partenope seafront, via Mergellina and via Caracciolo, the Vomero district as well as the public beaches with access from via Posillipo: 10 of these did not wear a mask, 8 were surprised in the street beyond the 22, the latter all between 20 and 25 years old.

There are 31 sanctions in the Vesuvian and Sorrento area, mostly due to the total lack of masks: in this case too, 8 people have violated the curfew, 23 those without personal protective equipment.

Among the other municipalities in the Neapolitan province and in the area north of the city, 16 people are fined, 7 for violating the curfew, 9 for lack of masks.

"The mayor of Naples assume his responsibilities, do not play on words, close what others have closed. We will not accept, as internal areas, to end up in orange zone in the same way as Naples, which does not do what it should ".

This was declared by the mayor of Benevento, Clemente Mastella.

"My people accepted that the hospitals of Benevento hosted more than 50% of patients from other Campania realities, almost all Neapolitans. It was and is right to do so now and in the future, but after the photos of yesterday's gatherings at sea but, above all, in the city of Naples, my people are wondering, and I with them, if this is a correct and respectful behavior of our sacrifices and of the Neapolitan doctors who at the same time are unable to keep up with the continuous arrival of stretchers. our 97th place in the standings we do not want to be treated in the same way as those who allow shows like those seen yesterday in Naples ".

"We are experiencing a very difficult time, especially for those who, like us, are in daily contact with the elderly within the RSA (Healthcare Residences) and in home care for fragile and often discriminated patients".

Salvatore Isaia, president of 'Confcommercio health and care' says this, commenting on the increase in infections within health facilities for the elderly.

"In agreement with the regional and territorial institutions we have increased the levels of safety. It should be remembered that we are talking about patients who cannot receive specialized care of an adequate level at home and who without social health structures would end up 'parked' in a hospital ward ".
