Great news from Milan as the Coronavirus outbreak is becoming a bit less overwhelming in the hospitals.

The healthcare stuff of the Ospedale Niguarda in Milan posted a great video showing them celebrating the closure of 1 of the 5 ICUs. Milan is one of the most hard-hit cities in the world, and therefore it is very encouraging to see these signals. Still, we are not out of the woods, but the following message and video definitely provide some optimism.

This was the messages (translated) in the post:

“It is a small but very important step.

The emergency has not ended, and we cannot absolutely let our guard down.

But there is the first good news. The decline in the last few days of new positive patients has allowed us to close one of the 5 intensive therapies that in these two months we have had to open for the assistance of COVID patients.

27 beds that until a few days ago had welcomed patients in very serious conditions due to the virus are now empty. Now the ward will be reorganized and sanitized to be able to leave!

And in the end … the joy of those who, in the last 50 days, have worked in this department with a lot of dedication, professionalism, responsibility and sensitivity … thanks!”
