Torna a salire la presenza del virus nelle acque reflue

TORONTO – Parlare di nuova (ennesima) ondata di Covid-19, è forse prematuro, ma i segnali ci sono tutti: nelle ultime settimane avevamo asssistito ad una ripresa dei ricoveri ma il numero esiguo di tamponi effettuati (riservati alle sole categorie “a rischio”) non aveva consentito un tracciamento esaustivo dei contagi. C’è però un dato dal quale non si scappa: la presenza del virus nelle acque reflue… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Ontario, the presence of the virus in the wastewater is rising again

TORONTO – Talking about a new (nth) wave of Covid-19 is perhaps premature, but the signs are all there: in recent weeks we had witnessed a rising of hospitalizations but the small number of swabs performed (reserved only for “at risk” categories) “) had not allowed an exhaustive tracing of the infections.

TORONTO – The virus does not give up. Today, in Ontario, another 8 deaths related to Covid-19, bringing the total in the province, since the beginning of the pandemic, to 13,351.

Now it remains around 500, a sign that the descent has slowed down. 

Non solo Covid: pronto soccorso ’sold out’

TORONTO – Di tutto, di più: lesioni, traumi, e pure virus (Covid-19 a parte). Gli ospedali dell’Ontario – e non solo – sono di nuovo sotto assedio ma questa volta non per la pandemia, bensì per altri motivi: dall’influenza stagionale alle ferite che le persone (soprattutto giovani), tornate “libere” dopo due anni di restrizioni, si procurano in svariati modi… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Not only Covid: emergency rooms ‘sold out’ in Ontario
