An Italian doctor from the region of Lombardy who was on vacation in Tenerife has tested positive for coronavirus in the south of the island. The Ministry of Health of the Canary Islands Government has activated the protocol after learning that the tests performed on this tourist confirmed the first positive. The analyzes have been carried out at the Nuestra Se?ora de La Candelaria University Hospital with kits supplied by the Ministry of Health. It is expected that throughout this Tuesday, a second test will be carried out at the National Center for Microbiology of the Carlos III Health Institute.

At the moment, following the protocol, the Italian tourist is isolated in a health center in the south of Tenerife, specifically in the Quir?n Sur de Adeje Clinic. The patient is under sanitary control and has good health.

According to sources of the counseling, the tourist voluntarily showed up at a health center on the Island and asked to have the tests done because he was suspected of being affected. As he indicated to the health personnel in the questionnaire that was made, he did not believe he had been infected by having been in direct contact with a coronavirus patient.

The red zone. The Codogno rebels: 'We violate the blocks to survive'






CODOGNO - ?We must survive. Who rules, on TV repeats that everything is fine, but here the situation is dramatic. The truth is that we are abandoned. It is not enough to condemn 50 thousand people to isolation. Then you have to help them. Nobody does it: that's why we manage ?. Luigi Toselli, a farmer from Codogno, leaves the red zone shortly after 9 am. For secondary roads it reaches Taccagna and Cascina Vinzaschina and goes shopping in Lodi. Hundreds, from the Italian epicenter of the coronavirus, follow it on cars and vans. Those who live in the ten isolated Municipalities of Lodigiano know how to avoid the checkpoints that begin to guard the provincial roads. Between farmhouses and countryside, the 'escape routes' are not counted. Thus, throughout the day, 'escapes' rise and you return to the outbreak of the infection.

?In the red zone - says Pietro Meazzi, worker from Casalpusterlengo - only food and pharmacies are open. The wait to enter lasts for hours, then you discover that fresh food, masks and drugs are out of stock. It is unacceptable, the elderly are exhausted. We go out and do the shopping in San Rocco also for friends and relatives: it's a civil service ?. With the entire North 'in quarantine' to 'contain the infection', it turns out that the perfect incubator around the Codogno hospital remains sealed only on paper. Driving through the fields you can easily reach and leave Castiglione d’Adda, Codogno and Casalpusterlengo, as in recent days. Back and forth.

?Nobody wants to infect someone - Andrea Maiocchi, a merchant from Castiglione - but the rules cannot ignore reality. Out of ten closed Municipalities, only four count infected people. Yet inside the belt, everyone goes where they want. Absurd: it is like saying that inside the outbreak there is a license of contagion, while those who live in countries free from Covid-19 cannot jump out for urgent practices in the offices, or to get what is missing here: disinfectants, detergents , mineral water, pet food and cigarettes. ' The largest red area in Italy, 5 dead and 90% of those infected in Lombardy, so it still does not work.

...The appeal of doctors. "It cannot be accepted that our doctors are facing the Covid-19 emergency without the personal protective equipment from the virus." The president of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo) Filippo Anelli writes in a letter to the governor of Lombardy Attilio Fontana. "A doctor who falls ill - he adds - is a doctor removed from the national health service and the protection of the right to health".

The hospitals in Lombardy facing the coronavirus emergency are "on the edge of the estate", meanwhile says Professor Massimo Galli, infectious disease specialist at the Sacco hospital in Milan, during a press conference at the Lombardy Region headquarters.

Coronavirus, clinics closed in Lombardy: ?We recover doctors and nurses?

The Lombardy Region has decided to suspend all outpatient activities in public and private structures, except for urgent and non-deferrable ones to deal with the coronavirus emergency. The announcement came yesterday evening from the Welfare Councilor Giulio Gallera. It is a measure aimed at recovering doctors and nurses for use in the intensive care and pneumology wards. The provision, which follows that of stopping 70 percent of the planned interventions, will become operational throughout the region starting from Monday. It will be included in the government measure, arriving today, on the indication of the Lombardy Region, which will implement it 'with a guideline from the Welfare Directorate-General', announces Gallera.

From next week, therefore, general practitioners will only be able to prescribe 'urgent' visits. What about chronic patients? 'If they are indifferent and urgent they will make the visits, otherwise they will not.' Same answer for those who have a visit on the agenda, even booked months ago. ?Every day we have 200 more people to be admitted to our hospitals. If we have staff, we can open more beds, hospitalize the sick and withstand the impact. ' The measure will last a couple of months on an extraordinary basis, until the emergency returns.

Coronavirus Lombardia, the peak of 8000 infections to be avoided by March 22nd

Behind the choices of politics there are numbers to think about. The latest Thursday updates give 2,251 swab positive cases for Lombardy, 1,169 hospitalized patients, 244 in intensive care, 98 died. It does not end here. The commitment of all of us called to responsibly follow the measures useful to stop the virus race, among children who do not go to school and prohibition of overcrowding, serves to avoid the peak of infections. The estimate, for Lombardy only, is eight thousand new hospitalizations by March 22, 1,250 of which are serious and 400 in intensive care. These are forecasts drawn up on mathematical models by the experts of the Crisis Unit which are likely to come true if containment measures fail. They are not data that should alarm us, but they are important to guide us in our daily choices: everyone must limit contagion opportunities as much as possible and who is elderly (or frail) must remain at home.
