The health care system in the Italian region of Lombardy is on the brink of collapse, the head of its crisis response unit has said.
“We’re now being forced to set up intensive care treatment in corridors, in operating theatres, in recovery rooms. We’ve emptied entire hospital sections to make space for seriously sick people,” Antonio Pesenti told the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
“One of the best health systems in the world, in Lombardy, is a step away from collapse,” he said.
The northern region is one of 15 Italian areas that have had measures imposed restricting travel in a bid to contain the outbreak.
