As the COVID-19 pandemic surged in Italy, the total number of confirmed cases reached 59,138 on March 23. On the frontlines of this crisis, Dr. Rodolfo Ferrari stands at the entrance of a triage structure outside the Hospital S. Maria della Scaletta. Every day, he takes samples from people’s noses and mouths to analyze for the virus.
Those who test negative are relieved to return home. For those who test positive, immediate admission follows. This system helps prevent the hospital, already operating at full capacity, from becoming overwhelmed.
The efforts of medical professionals like Dr. Ferrari highlight the immense sacrifices being made globally to combat the pandemic. Their dedication not only safeguards their communities but also serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility we all share in facing this unprecedented challenge.
