I do not understand. Does Italy have 2 separate lists? A list for clinically ill people, but have no test results, and a separate list for people who test positive for COVID-19? Are all of these cases being reported?
The intention is to consider only serious and dead cases as cases that will be communicated, the rest will be counted separately and only for epidemiological purposes
China was accused of hiding the cases, I don't believe it. Italy is deciding to hide the cases and downplay the epidemic
If the cases are few and concern only elderly or fragile people it will be more simple to say that the epidemic is no worrysome
Coronavirus positives rose to 650 in Italy. Then there are three other deaths in Lombardy, all over 80 years old. The head of the Civil Protection, Angelo Borrelli said it, taking stock of the emergency. Three other people in Lombardy with Coronavirus were also cured: there are now 40 in the region. "Everything is normal, there is no problem in the red zone," said Borrelli. "The Department has made available and over 35 thousand masks are arriving in Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto".
The first two cases of Coronavirus in Italy, a couple of Chinese tourists, were confirmed on January 30 by the Spallanzani Institute , where they were hospitalized in isolation from January 29). On February 26, they were declared healed.
The first case of secondary transmission occurred at Codogno Hospital on February 18, 2020.
The majority of cases detected are in home isolation and do not require hospital treatment. Surveillance and controls
In our country there is a surveillance network on the new coronavirus and controls and screening have been activated under the coordination of the ministerial task force .
Italy blocked on 30 January with an order from the Minister of Health all flights to and from China for 90 days, in addition to those from Wuhan, already suspended by the Chinese authorities.
The Italian government declared the state of emergency on 31 January, earmarked the first funds and appointed Chief of Civil Protection Angelo Borrelli as extraordinary Commissioner for the emergency.
The Council of Ministers has passed a decree-law with measures for the prohibition of access and removal in the municipalities where outbreaks are present and the suspension of demonstrations and events.

Italy Blasts Virus Panic as It Eyes New Testing Criteria
Italy has tried to control the coronavirus in the realm of public perception as its outbreak grew to 650 cases and other countries limited travel to and from affected Italian regions.
By Associated Press, Wire Service Content Feb. 27, 2020, at 4:39 p.m.
...Public health officials have said that Italy contributed to fears of an epidemic in Europe with its zealousness in testing for the virus and quickly reporting the number that came back positive from local regions.
A World Health Organization official advising the Italian government, Walter Ricciardi, said test results must be certified at the national level before they are considered official and publicly reported. Without confirmation from Italy's National Institutes of Health, "cases that emerge from the regions are still considered suspect and unconfirmed,” Ricciardi said.
It remains to be seen whether or how the higher-level review of positive tests changes Italy's case numbers. So far, none of the 282 cases analyzed by the national health institute were rejected as false positives, and Italian authorities said they suspect that almost all of the preliminary results will be confirmed, too.
Italian health officials are making another change in their testing protocols that may slow the growth of new case numbers. The country expects to limit coronavirus testing to at-risk people showing symptoms of COVID-19, said Giuseppe Ippolito, scientific director at Italy’s National Institute for Infectious Diseases.
Previously, Italy was testing anyone who visited certain towns in northern Italy or came into contact with someone infected with the virus but not necessarily showing symptoms...
Coronavirus, Governor Zaia to the government: ?Revoke the ordinance, emergency is past. From Monday I reopen the schools in Veneto ?
VENICE - 'Coronavirus, I think the ordinance should be revoked'. This was stated by the governor of Veneto Luca Zaia, referring to the Ministry of Health-Region ordinance with the security measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
'Today in Veneto - added Zaia - we have an increase in the number of infected people that is minimal, a dozen more cases, of which more than half asymptomatic and the others are not serious'. According to Zaia 'there is therefore no exponential peak that justifies' the maintenance of the measures envisaged in the ordinance in force until March 1. 'I hope that at national level it will be decided to revoke the minimum of ordinances that has been done' Zaia continued. 'It is - he concluded - a media pandemic that lives on social networks. And I remember that in Veneto no commercial activity has been blocked. Veneto is not blocked ?.
Veneto, the area in which I live, is the second biggest outbreak in Italy. It is too early to say that emergency is over. We cannot let our guard down at this time when the epidemic is growing and we still don't know what direction it will take. People's lives are more important than economic problems.
