“We repeat it, the safety of people comes first, obviously starting from all the health workers”, continues Venturi. “Already in the next few hours we will meet the unions, which had already signaled this aspect, to clarify and reaffirm this concept”.
There directive sent by the Region to the hospital companies that so much confusion created spoke of periodic screening “Every fortnight to all health workers operating in Covid-19 areas with maximum diffusion in order – it is read – to define the size of the workforce in the field, with a view to proposing, on a voluntary basis, the resumption of work to the subjects positive but asymptomatic “.

“It is a measure absurd and in contrast to all the documents of the Ministry of Health. So the Region has done well – says the president of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli – to make a step back and to give the importance due to the health of doctors, because it is an inconceivable measure. “In hospitals, even if in areas of maximum spread of the virus, he concludes,” patients, all, must feeling confident and active doctors must be healthy. This is a basic principle. ”
The directive
In this sense, the act distinguishes “Three different scenarios” in the Region with “three different screening priorities”: maximum penetration zones (Piacenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Rimini), high penetration zones (Modena, Bologna), low penetration zones (Ferrara, Ravenna, Forlì). Even in areas of high penetration, it says, “it is rational to periodically screen health workers operating in Covid-19 areas by direct diagnosis, in order to identify cohorts of asymptomatic health workers suitable for maintaining work”.
In the areas of moderate penetration, instead, the swab for screening to “health workers exposed to patients with diagnosed infection is expected in order to define the extent of vertical spread (from patient to operator) aimed at maintaining the majority of Covid health workers -free and to put in quarantine any infected to avoid inter-operator diffusion “.
