Following
his diagnosis, his emergency service operations center was sanitized,
and some of his colleagues have been instructed to self-isolate after
experiencing symptoms associated with coronavirus.
As of today, there has been a total of 1,809 deaths out of
24,747 cases of coronavirus in Italy – the most anywhere outside of
mainland China.
The news came after it was reported that Italian coronavirus patients who are 80 or older will not receive intensive care if the crisis worsens, under emergency plans being proposed in Turin. The plans drawn up by civil protection officials warn that ‘it will be necessary to apply criteria for access to intensive treatment’ if there are too many patients.
