"
In Italy, 610 special Usca Continuity Care Units out of the 1200 planned have been created, in some regions they have even canceled them, the result is that in regions where there are no Usca there is the highest hospitalization rate"
.
This was stated by
Antonio Magi, president of the Rome Medical Association
, who spoke at Radio Cusano Campus.
Referring therefore to the ruling of the Lazio TAR which establishes that family doctors cannot visit Covid patients at home, Magi underlines that "the doctor as such has an ethical obligation to follow his patient. The sentence does not concern the patient. activities of doctors, intervenes on a specific topic. To prevent family doctors from getting sick, the so-called Usca were formed with the law 14 of March 2020, where there are no family doctors but a team of specialists and nurses who goes to follow the patient at home. In Lazio, instead, the Uscars have been made, but so far they have done a tracking job, that is, they went to do the swabs, but no home visits have been made ".
The Tar sentence, he concludes, "says that in the Usca there must be no family doctors, who must continue to do their canonical activity".
The data "show signs of a slowdown in the growth of the SarsCov2 epidemic, however the overload conditions of the hospital system, with particularly high ICU occupancy and COVID areas, require
not to relax the restrictive measures
. We remind you that in the last week we over 200 thousand new cases and 4,980 deaths are counted while hospitalizations with symptoms are currently more than 34 thousand ".
This is the appeal of the Intersindacale of the Medical, Health and Veterinary Management on reopening close to the Christmas holidays
