Asymptomatic positives hospitalized for causes other than pandemic are not considered patients in the Covid medical area. The Ministry of Health seems to want to accept the request made by the Regions. These ask, in fact, that Coronavirus positive subjects, asymptomatic and hospitalized for causes other than contagion, are not identified as patients in the Covid medical area. Yesterday, according to the official bulletin, the infections detected in Italy were about 185 thousand and the deaths 316.
Asymptomatic positives
This, "without prejudice to compliance with the principle of separation of paths and patient safety". This explains a recently released ministerial circular in which it is pointed out: "With regard to the press rumors about changes to the count of hospitalized patients, it is stated that no formal act has been ordered at the moment by the Ministry of Health. Without prejudice to what is recognized by the Higher Institute of Health, dialogue with the Regions is obviously always open ”.
The contagion curve is always increasing
Meanwhile, according to data from Agenas, Calabria, which has intensive care units occupied at 20% and the ordinary wards at 38%, could already go orange as early as next Monday. In addition to Calabria they would pass in Orange also Piedmont (23% and 33% respectively), and Sicily which has 20% resuscitations and 33% Covid wards.
But if the trend does not reverse, another 10 regions could change color in the coming weeks. In fact, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Marche, the province of Trento, Tuscany and Veneto have exceeded the 20% threshold in the intensive. While Liguria, Umbria Lombardy, and Valle d'Aosta are already over 30% of employment in the Covid departments.
Thanks for the info.
