ITALY (Lombardy)
The situation in Lombardy
‘Today in Lombardy we had 252 deaths, there are 1,218 in total’. These are the data released by the councilor for Welfare of Lombardy Giulio Gallera. ‘There are 13,272 positives, plus 1,587 - he said - 4,898 are hospitalized, plus 602 compared to yesterday, there is a constant but not exponential growth. In intensive care they only increase by 25, 757 in total, a very significant figure smaller than the average of 45. But we don’t sing victory, also because the deaths are 1,218, with a growth of 252 ‘.
Bergamo is the province with the most infected: 3,416 with an increase in one day of 552. In Brescia there are 2,473 (+351), in Cremona 1,792 (227), in Pavia 722 (100), in Mantua 327 (60), Monza and Brianza 339 (+115). In the metropolitan city of Milan, 1,750 (+200) are infected, of which 711 in the city (79), therefore with numbers in proportion to the population lower than other areas.
‘Intensive care is the most delicate aspect - Gallera continued -, not the only one because there are hospitals that after 24 days are really exhausted and are very saturated’. Gallera explained in the region 1,200 intensive care places are now available, set up with ‘a titanic effort that surprises, amazes and moves us too’. So, Gallera explained, ‘we went from 724 to 1,200 seats and a good margin was recovered compared to the numbers we had yesterday, thanks to the large capacity of the structures that are giving answers using everything they have’.
