++ Cts, with increased pressure on hospitals plus masks ++

(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 04 - A preparation meeting for the new phase of the autumn and winter season, in anticipation of an increase in the need for personal protective equipment and 'possible shortcomings', has been fixed tomorrow by the Technical Scientific Committee together with the managers of the Health, who have summoned the Commissioner for the Emergency, Domenico Arcuri. As far as we know, the aim is to take stock of the situation on the supply of hospital materials, in particular on the PPE of sanitary ware such as the Ffp2 and Ffp3 masks, in anticipation of the increase in pressure on hospitals given the epidemiological evolution in Italy. To avoid possible device shortages, an increase in supplies will be foreseen. But at the moment - it is announced - there would be no criticism. (HANDLE).
