This is surreal': Italian towns struggle under coronavirus lockdown
Doctors unable to visit patients while some who have recovered say they are still stigmatised
Angela Giuffrida in Rome
Fri 6 Mar 2020 17.05 GMT
Last modified on Fri 6 Mar 2020 17.43 GMT

Quarantined Italian towns are buckling under the strain, major cities are emptying out and some of those infected say they are being stigmatised as Europe’s worst outbreak of coronavirus takes hold.

As of Thursday night, 3,858 cases had been detected as Italy aggressively tests for the virus. Out of that number, 148 people have died and 414 have recovered. Of those infected, 1,790 are in hospital – 351 in intensive care – and 1,115 are recovering at home.

Eleven towns are under lockdown – 10 in Lombardy and one in Veneto – and schools have been closed across the country as the government tries to contain a virus about which there are still many unknowns.

Stories that have emerged since the outbreak began reflect the contrasting nature of the virus’s impact, from the reassuring accounts of people cured to the suffering of those who have died or are in a critical condition. The heavily pregnant wife of “patient one”, the 38-year-old man who was Italy’s first confirmed locally transmitted case, was dismissed from hospital on Thursday; her husband, a marathon runner and amateur footballer, remains in intensive care.

The dead, mostly elderly and with underlying health problems, are buried quickly without ceremony to mitigate the risk of infection posed by their corpses. The living have become wary of those with even the slightest cough.

Nowhere is the situation more acute than in the areas under quarantine. In Castiglione d’Adda, a town of 4,600 in Lombardy, 18 people have died within the past two weeks and, as of Thursday, 121 inhabitants were infected. The youngest victim was a 55-year-old man; it is unclear whether he had an underlying illness. With three of the town’s five doctors in quarantine and two hospitalised with the virus, there is nobody to tend to the sick at home.

“We have many people with a fever who are at home and who are unable to be visited by a doctor,” Costantino Pesatori, the mayor of Castiglione d’Adda, told the Guardian. “A substitute doctor came but he wasn’t provided with protective clothing and so, justifiably, refused to see people at home.”

Pesatori is yet to learn whether the 14-day quarantine period, due to end on Sunday, will be extended...

Coronavirus, the decree: ?Recruitment of 5 thousand doctors and 10 thousand nurses?. Justice: possible 'behind closed doors' trials and postponements until after 31 May

A decree to hire 5,000 doctors, 10,000 nurses, 5,000 health workers. The government has decided and in these hours the provision is being finalized which will be brought to the Council of Ministers convened for 20.30. In another decree, the government provides that 'closed doors' trials can be held and the hearings postponed to June.

To cope with the Coronavirus emergency, the executive plans to proceed with 'assignments of self-employment, direct recruitment through the rankings, commissioning of qualified graduates, even if not specializing, recruiting general practitioners'.

The text also establishes a 50% increase in places for intensive care which could become 7,500 and double the beds for pulmonology and infectious diseases. All this should take place using accredited private structures, the specialist outpatient increase and the strengthening of territorial assistance networks.

The possibility of recruiting hotels for quarantine was contained in an old order but, at the moment, it was overcome by the availability of barracks and other structures of the Ministry of Defense.

On the justice front, the executive has established the postponement of civil and criminal hearings 'to a later date than May 31, 2020' and carrying out the trials behind closed doors if it is not possible to guarantee compliance with the health security precautions set by the government. This is foreseen, although as a 'last resort' in the absence of other possibilities, the draft decree-law that the Council of Ministers will discuss tonight to address the new and unpublished chapter of the justice emergency in Italy linked to the coronavirus infection. In line with what the Superior Council of the Judiciary had asked for in the resolution approved yesterday and with the invitation received from the Union of Criminal Chambers, the Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede decided to entrust the presidents of the courts and appellate courts with the possibility of adopting a series of 'scaled' measures to ensure compliance with the anti-contagion measures set by the Technical-scientific Committee.

THE CASE OF DOCTORS IN QUARANTINE

The Veneto Governor's statements today, March 6. Since the beginning of the Coronavirus emergency - he explains - about 450 health workers in the Veneto have been in quarantine. Almost all (doctors, nurses and operators) tested negative for the swab and showed no symptoms, but as they came into contact with infected patients, the Ministry of Health ordered fiduciary home isolation for 14 days. 'A real madness: at this rate we risk having to close the wards', is the alarm by Professor Andrea Crisanti, director of the Microbiology and Virology operating unit of the Padua Hospital, supported by the governor himself.

Nicola Zingaretti, the leader of Italy’s Democratic party, one of the national ruling parties, has tested positive for coronavirus.

Zingaretti, who is also president of the Lazio region, made the announcement in a Facebook video.

“So, it’s arrived, I also have coronavirus,” he said. “I am fine, and therefore I am in quarantine at home. From here, I’ll continue to do what I can do. My family are also following the protocols, and ASL [the local health authority] is contacting people who have worked closely [with me] in recent days to carry out checks. I have always said ‘don’t panic’ and that we will fight this.”

Italy set to quarantine whole of Lombardy due to coronavirus
Government’s draft decree would impose fines on anyone caught entering or leaving northern region
Lorenzo Tondo in Palermo
Sat 7 Mar 2020 20.57 GMT

The Italian government is set to place the region of Lombardy, in the north of the country, in lockdown as it battles to contain the spread of the coronavirus. A draft decree would extend the quarantined areas, so-called “red-zones”, telling people not to enter or leave the region.

The country is grappling to contain Europe’s worst outbreak of Covid-19, which has claimed 233 lives and infected a total of 5,883 people.

Italian authorities announced that a new decree containing draconian measures would be approved later on Saturday. The decree will include imposing fines on anyone caught entering or leaving the region of Lombardy, the worst-affected region, until 3 April. People will be allowed in and out only on the most serious grounds...

Covid-19, the recommendations for older people


"The analyzes we are conducting show that the deceased patients are mainly elderly, on average 81 years, 80 percent have more than two pathologies, 60 percent have more than three, only 2 percent have no pathology ". This was stated by the President of the Higher Institute of Health Silvio Brusaferro, commenting on the new epidemiological data presented in the press conference to the Civil Protection on 7 March. To date, in fact, 16% of the deceased in our country are between 60-69 years old, 30% between 70-79 years, 42% between 80-89 and 6% over 90 years of age.

"The most frequent symptomatology at the onset of Covid-19 disease is the association of fever and dyspnoea, that is, difficulty in breathing, - added Brusaferro - and it is very important that in relation to this particular fragility of the Italian population, older people take protective behavior.

Those with fever and breathing difficulties call your family doctor or 112/118 immediately on the phone in case of severe breathing difficulties, without going to the emergency room or waiting rooms of medical offices where they can have close contacts with other people.

Instead, all older people are recommended to:

• avoid crowded places
• stay at home as much as possible
• limit movement to the bare minimum and avoid close contacts ".

Coronavirus: Northern Italy quarantines 16 million people

Italy has placed up to 16 million people under quarantine as it battles to contain the spread of coronavirus.

Anyone living in Lombardy and 14 other central and northern provinces will need special permission to travel. Milan and Venice are both affected.

Schools, gyms, pools, and ski resorts will be closed and all events in "public and private spaces" suspended, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said.

The drastic measures will last until 3 April.

Last week the government announced the closure of all schools and universities across the country for 10 days.

Altri 56 decessi sono avvenuti in Emilia Romagna e 18 in Veneto. Altre 6 Regioni contano tra 1 e 7 deceduti ciascuna.
ROME - The coronavirus epidemic is growing in Italy. There are 6,387 patients, with an increase of 1,326 people compared to yesterday, and 366 deaths, 133 more. The new data was provided by Commissioner Angelo Borrelli in the press conference to the Civil Protection. 'Today there are 33 more healed, which become 622. We register 133 deaths, a total of 366,' he added. The total number of total coronavirus cases is 7,375. That counts, in addition to the currently positive people also the healed and the dead.

Lombardy is confirmed by far as the region most affected by the Covid-19 epidemic considering that of the 366 who died with coronavirus in Italy 267 are in Lombardy alone, equal to 72.9% of the total. Another 56 deaths occurred in Emilia Romagna and 18 in Veneto. Another 6 regions count between 1 and 7 deceased each.

The commissioner then said that 'thirteen patients have already been transferred or are being transferred from Lombardy to the neighboring regions' to lighten intensive care. Contagions increase but the commitment to fight coronavirus also increases. 'As regards the forces in the field, the number is growing,' said Borrelli, 'we are about four thousand and the number of tents made available for the pre-triage structures is 412'. Not only. For the masks 'we are signing a series of contracts that from March 12th to April 30th will provide us with 22 million surgical ones,' he added.

Half Veneto closed, Zaia a Conte: ?For our 3 provinces, irrational measures, I ask for crisis management powers?

Veneto is opposed to the creation of the three isolation zones in the region envisaged by the Government's Dpcm (READ). In the counter-submissions sent to the Government, the technical scientific committee supporting the Crisis Unit calls for 'the removal of the 3 provinces of Padua, Treviso and Venice from the decree'. In the face of circumscribed clusters, 'and which do not affect the general population in a widespread manner, it is not understood - it is written in the counterclaims - the rationale for a measure that appears scientifically disproportionate to the epidemiological trend'.
