As Italy faces a significant surge in COVID-19 cases, reaching a total of 59,138 on March 23, frontline heroes like Dr. Rodolfo Ferrari are at the forefront of the battle against the pandemic. Dr. Ferrari operates at the entrance of a specialized triage structure set up outside the Hospital S. Maria della Scaletta, where he diligently collects samples from individuals' noses and mouths for analysis.
This efficient triage system plays a crucial role in managing the influx of patients. Those who test negative for COVID-19 are allowed to return home, while those with positive results are immediately admitted to the hospital. This process is essential in preventing the already burdened hospitals from becoming overwhelmed, ensuring that those in critical need receive timely care.
The dedication of healthcare professionals like Dr. Ferrari exemplifies the collective sacrifices made to combat the pandemic and protect the health of the community.
