"If the trend in cases of SarsCov2 infection continues with the current rhythms and numbers, and without further containment measures, we estimate that in less than a month the intensive care units in the Center-South, especially in Lazio and Campania, will be able to suffering in terms of available beds ".
This was stated to ANSA by the president of the Italian hospital anesthetists association (Aaroi-Emac), Alessandro Vergallo, commenting on the current trend of the pandemic in Italy.
"We are very worried about the southern regions - he underlines - where we see a greater lack of preparation to deal with a possible worsening of the situation".
"What we are experiencing in these days - he adds - could be the beginning of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic rather than the terminal long wave of the first pandemic phase. This worries us because it presupposes a further increase in infections". "We could be facing a phase of initial exponential increase in cases, and no longer - he concludes - facing a more contained linear increase"
