For now, contact tracing is holding up, even if for 28% of the positives ascertained on the 9,287 of last week it was not possible to trace the origin of the contagion.
The ASL "virus hunters" in charge of contact tracing managed to start the system of tracing contacts at risk in 100% of cases in almost all Regions except Liguria (64%), Lombardy (92.7%) and Tuscany (92.7%) As far as personnel are concerned, all Regions except Abruzzo, Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia respect the minimum standard of a tracer person per 10 thousand inhabitants.
The data of the Ministry of Health show that "no country like ours has so far managed to draw so many circles to trace contacts at risk of contagion and thus contain the growth of the epidemic curve", explains Dario Manfellotto, President of Fadoi, the Scientific society of hospital internists who have assisted 70% of the positively hospitalized, in these days at the congress.
A tracking that "is safeguarding the population, but also our hospitals, which thanks to a rapid isolation of the positives have undergone a modest increase in hospitalizations of Covid patients".
"However, it is also up to all of us - adds Manfellotto - to assume responsible attitudes, because, behind that third of cases for which tracing cannot be completed is the non-compliance with the rules which makes it impossible to trace the countless contacts at risk of those who do not wear a mask, do not respect safety distances and do not spare themselves nightlife and happy our ".
