Coronavirus, raid on the Loreto Mare: stolen masks, gowns and overalls

The infections increase and serve beds, Covid and not Covid. To establish a fair number yesterday, the Region closed an agreement that will be signed today with the private agreement holders for three thousand places. There will also be ICU patients. It starts immediately. With the address note that prescribes a clear separation between the structures: those that will welcome patients with coronavirus will not be able to hospitalize subjects affected by other pathologies. A need that protects one and the other, as well as the clinics.While working to deal with the emergency, however, a cowardly raid was struck the other night at Loreto Mare. Surgical masks, overalls, gowns and even personal items. Stolen. At night, on the ground floor of Covid-Loreto, in the changing rooms of the nurses. An unpredictable theft, scored while the new reference center is laboriously starting, from fools probably intending to take possession of specific anti-Covid-19 material. An error of assessment, given that the security systems are kept in a room adjacent to the Resuscitation.
During the shift change, the nurses themselves noticed the broken lockers. Investigate the police. Little damage, a lot of anger. Eight patients were hospitalized yesterday in Resuscitation, transferred from other hospitals with a diagnosis of certainty. The appeal to fill the ward still lacks two beds. On the other hand, the first floor has just been renovated. Accommodates 10 Covid patients in good condition. The single or two-bed rooms have been refurbished thanks to the commitment of 75 workers who worked day and night, transforming the old lanes of Loreto. Each room is equipped with an internal telephone circuit that allows you to communicate with the staff of the Medicheria. After the opening of the intensive care unit and the hospital ward, subintensive therapy should start in early April.The lack of anesthesiologists is not an easy solution: there are nine, it would take another six. But identifying them is not easy, despite the attempts to enlist the ASL Napoli 1. Also yesterday, the manager Ciro Verdoliva indirectly replied to the ex-health councilor Angelo Montemarano who intervened on Repubblica on the emergency situation. “Ascalesi, San Gennaro, Incurabili and San Giovanni Bosco – writes Verdoliva – cannot be used to offer a response in time to the health needs of citizens threatened by the virus”. An observation that however does not resolve doubts, given that San Gennaro and Ascalesi have not been hospitalized for some time, but still perform other functions. Not to mention that the Ascalesi was sold to Pascale and that therefore it is no longer pertinent to Napoli 1. In this regard, a white coat: “But if it has passed to the oncological center it means that it was not in disastrous conditions, so much so that it was already resuscitation, functioning until two years ago “.

From Loreto to Cardarelli, where the “helmets” for CPap support and fans have finally arrived. At this point, patients’ protections are available, while personal protective equipment and a number of nurses capable of starting Palazzina M are still missing. Perhaps by Monday. Meanwhile, Germany has given its willingness to send support to Campania with a healthcare team. 1061 swabs were made yesterday, 145 of which tested positive. The total in the region is 1454. And the deaths do not stop: yesterday the virus killed an economic officer working in the offices of via Vespucci of the prefecture. He was 65, he hadn’t been going to work since early March
