Coronavirus: feverish Borrelli. Seven more doctors died
The balance of doctors who died from the Covid-19 epidemic continues to rise. Today in Italy, according to what the National Federation of Medical Orders says, there are five more deaths. This is Calogero Giabbarrasi, Caltanissetta’s family doctor; Renzo Granata, family doctor from Alessandria; Ivan Mauri, also a family doctor, from Lecco, Ivano Garzena, dentist from Turin, and Vincenza Amato, head of Hygiene and Healthcare at the Health Prevention Department in Bergamo; two dentists from Brescia also died: Gabriele Lombardi and Mario Calonghi.
Garzena was the first deceased dentist for Covid and was 49 years old. The total thus rises to 33 deaths since the beginning of the epidemic. However, it is the family doctors who are most exposed to the risk of contagion: the data of the trade association reveal that 50% of the deceased were a general practitioner.
Meanwhile this morning the Head of the Department of Civil Protection, Angelo Borrelli, has accused feverish symptoms and, as a precaution, has left the headquarters of the Department. Due to this slight indisposition, the Civil Protection, first suspended and then confirmed the daily press conference on the Coronavirus emergency of 18 hours is suspended.
