The most recent deceased patient was in Emilia Romagna, but came from Lombardy (Lodi). Male, 69 yo, with pre-existing respiratory pathologies
@DPCgov Dr Borrelli, @DPCgov stresses that @MinisteroSalute investigates deaths to pin point their cause, i.e. coronavirus vs pre-existing conditions (no details as how this investigation is performed)
@DPCgov@MinisteroSalute Most cases are self-isolating at home, so are not in need of hospital care.
It had been reported that masks were in short supply, but authorities have set up supply chains and allocated quotas to the Regions that need them
@DPCgov@MinisteroSalute Prof Locatelli @MinisteroSalute
the low percentage of positive cases( of all samples tested) supports that the risk of transmission is linked to confirmed positive cases
