A lot has changed in the
coronavirus emergency in Lombardy over the past four days,
Welfare Councillor Giulio Gallera said Monday, saying that a
fall in new cases had eased the pressure on ERs and ambulances.
"In Lombardy we are noting a fall in the number of cases but
above all in the pressure on accident and emergency wards and on
the action of ambulances," he said.
"A lot has changed in the last four days. It is the sign that
the great effort we are making, aside from some idiots, is
working."
Gallera said that at Milan's Sacco Hospital, "on Friday they
had 39 coronavirus deaths, they had seven on Saturday and nine
on Sunday. It's just one example, but there is a definite
reduction in pressure".
He added that the first patients would start arriving at a
new intensive care hospital created in the Milan fair area
"between Sunday and Monday".
