To manage the emergency, Italian Government has already ordered 3,800 lung ventilators, with an additional 300 available for immediate delivery, and has contracted supplies for over 30 million surgical masks, more than 7 million gloves, over 13 million coveralls, boots, headphones and gowns and for over 390 thousand swabs and more than 260 diagnostic kits corresponding to over 67 thousand tests. On Sunday, Pope Francis left the Vatican and visited walking in the center of the capital Rome the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore to address a prayer to the Virgin, ‘Salus populi Romani’. The pope made a walk in the central Via del Corso on foot, as if on a pilgrimage, before to reach another church, ‘San Marcello al Corso’, to pray for the end of the pandemic.
To concern more now the doctors is the alarm for submerged cases. “There are many sick people, who were not postponed to Covid19’s tests, risking to inflect their families”. A doctor warned speaking to Italian press. The Health Ministry asked doctors to treat patients with Covid-19 symptoms, considering them “positive”, monitoring them, and asking them to stay isolated as required by law, without ask them to make the test. Report them only if they have had certain contacts with an infected person. “But many people don’t even know if they have had contact at risk, and therefore they are spending days and days at home with a fever at 39, with the terror of getting worse” the doctor confirmed. While hospitals in the provinces of Milano, Bergamo and Brescia are collapsing, the cases that emerge are just the tip of the iceberg. The Covid-19 test is now done only to those who go to hospital because it is already serious and in urgent need of intensive care, but there are many cases with more nuanced symptoms that could be affected by the new Chinese virus. So according to the general doctor’s association, the numbers of people sick are therefore not real.
