It is an appeal to
respect the rules to avoid contagions
what the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana has done to citizens speaking to the program Buongiorno on Sky Tg24.
"I ask citizens - he said - the willingness to respect certain limitations of their freedom and their life that do not please anyone and that it is not right that they are applied, but in a dramatic situation we must unfortunately also accept rules that are not right. I ask with heart in hand, with the awareness that the citizens have given an excellent answer in the previous wave. I ask for this sacrifice ".
In particular, "to the most fragile and elderly people, to those with pathologies" Fontana's appeal is to stay "at home as much as possible and avoid contact".
The background on Salvini's opposition to the curfew in Lombardy are "urban legends", assured Fontana.
The Niguarda appeal to follow the rules also arrives
: "Infections are rapidly increasing. Our emergency room, which in the summer recorded the access of two patients a week for Covid, now welcomes 30 a day".
It is the second wave observed by the Niguarda hospital, which had to "reorganize the activity in order to be able to respond quickly to the emergency in progress", converting "six wards and an intensive care to assign them to the assistance of affected patients from Covid ".
Through its Facebook page, the Asst Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda also wanted to launch an appeal: "In order to manage this difficult situation, our commitment is not enough, we need a further effort from everyone - reads the message -. we entrust to the responsibility and conscience of each one, in following the rules and recommendations and avoiding, as far as possible, all those activities, potentially at risk, which are not strictly necessary ".
In the meantime, the Region has decided to gradually
reduce the activities of ordinary surgery
, that is to say the deferred scheduled operations (therefore not the emergencies).
The reduction varies from hospital to hospital based on each person's situation.
The first six patients are expected to arrive at the Fiera Milano hospital this afternoon
.
Guido Bertolaso said this, on a visit to the facility, where preparations are underway.
"transferred from the resuscitation of another hospital," Bertolaso said in connection with Mattino Cinque.
In about a week, about thirty patients will arrive, up to 45.
