On the 26th of February the Lombardy Region, he knew, in the province of Bergamo there was the risk of an upsurge of infections by coronaviruses. Four days after the “closing” of Codogno, the department of Health and Giulio Explore The Old he talked of a “possible new outbreak”. But not called for ever the establishment of a “red zone”. And until march 5, no one turned to the government asking for a decision. The magistrates of Bergamo who have asked about what happened to stand Up and Nembro the president Giuseppe Conte it has in fact declared that he has “never received the minutes of the meeting of the technical Committee on march 3, suggesting to take action.” And he added: “Only the 5 of march, when it was delivered to me the additional stress of professor Silvio Brusaferro, I asked for an in-depth study and on the basis of those data it was decided to close the entire region, as well as the 13 provinces of other regions”.

The ten days
Why not, it was decided to inform the premier of the existence of the minutes? The judges are trying to find out if there has been an underestimation of the emergency. And for this depart from the statements released to explore the old im the press conference ten days before the decree. In Nembro there were eight infected, for Up to four, and at the end of that week, on Saturday 29 February, the two Communes had already jumped to fifty positive patients, already more than the figure of Codogno. The Region had the numbers to move in advance? Or he could do it, the government, given that the data were transmitted to Rome? The checks do not allow you to exclude it, but is by no means certain that this awareness may be included in the scope of criminal law. It is in fact policy choices and to question the crime of the outbreak was due to negligence or any other violation, you should locate a causal link between decisions and effects. A link for the judges to consider that is very difficult to prove after the hearings of the prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, the ministers, Luciana Lamorgese and Roberto Speranza, president of the Institute of health Silvio Brusaferro and the adviser of the ministry of health Walter Ricciardi.

The “political choice”
The tragedy experienced from Nembro and Alzano, and then from across the Province of Bergamo, is indisputable, with an increase in mortality in the two Municipalities of Val Seriana in mid-April, registered to 745% more compared to previous years, and for all the territory to the 568%, for a total of six thousand victims in excess of the average. But for prosecutors, coordinated by the attorney added Maria Cristina Rota, and demonstrate that these numbers can be directly connected to the non – “red zone” recommended to the government by the technical scientific Committee and then from the Iss, is an arduous undertaking. Rota reiterated yesterday that it is “complex issue” to consider an offence. Starts to make its way, then, the belief that the closure was never realized, to Nembro and Alzano may be subject to the policyand not for the courts, even if the evaluation and the reconstruction of the facts are still in progress and none are unbalanced in official statements. If this line were to be confirmed, the investigation should be to a storage.

The hospital Alzano
Other than the outcome which is likely to have the other side of the inquiry, the one concerning the reopening of the emergency department of the hospital Up around the 18 to Sunday the 23rd of February, after only three hours of closing and after the discovery of the first two infected, both deceased. The judges would have already made some entries in the register of suspects. Were the director-general of the Welfare lombardo Luigi Cajazzo, removed last week from his post, and the general director of the Company socio-sanitary territorial, Seriate, with the health manager Roberto Cosentina, to establish by common agreement to reopen the presidio. They said during the questioning to the pm. And they did so despite a clash very hard with the doctors and a communication from the director of presidio, Giuseppe Marzulli, who said: “it is obvious that so the emergency room can’t stay open”. The public ministry are assessing all the standards and protocols that are sanitary, in the field, trying to contextualize the choice of the reopening. They also acquired information on the patient to get Up, already mid-February, a dozen of patients resident in Nembro, who all had suspicious symptoms but were not subjected to the buffer because were not – as they asked the ministerial circulars – to have had direct contact with China or with people from that Country. And have ordered further checks on the procedure that did not involve admissions in different departments between those who showed suspicious symptoms and those who had other diseases.
