Lombardy has recorded more than 15,500 deaths within its borders since February — half of all Covid fatalities in Italy. As the country starts lifting lockdown restrictions, the region still counts the highest number of cases per capita.
The public health catastrophe and human tragedy that followed could not have been avoided, according to Fontana, a member of the far-right League party.
Meanwhile, images of the streets of Milan and other cities full of people flouting social distancing rules as they gathered outside bars and restaurants also drew condemnation. “All attention was focused on hospitals, which became breeding grounds for the virus, and primary care physicians were left behind without proper help to treat people at home,” he said. That meant that many people died at home without being tested, as the virus spread through families uncontroled., meaning there is no unified system.
To Stefania Carrara, whose stepfather died of COVID-19 in hospital in March, the region’s reputation for “excellence” in health care increasingly seems like a bad joke. "The problem with the swab tests is that the government sent us 3.5 million, but it did not send the necessary chemicals to process them,” said Fontana.
