233 Corona deaths in Italy, 5,883 people are infected, now the next bad news: the health system in Lombardy threatens to collapse. The nurses in the intensive care units warned that the limits of the resilience of the hospitals could soon be reached.
“The danger is that we will soon reach the point where we can no longer guarantee patients the right support,” said Giulio Allera, Lombard’s health official, at a press conference in Milan. He appealed to the population to limit social contacts as much as possible. “We have to reduce our social life, but this message doesn’t seem to have really got through. The population must understand that we have to slow down our lives to prevent the virus from spreading,” said Gallera.
Prior to this, the nurses deployed in the intensive care units had warned that the epidemic would continue to spread despite the great commitment of the sanitary staff. To prevent the hospitals from collapsing, further measures to limit the infection are necessary.
