ROME (Reuters) - Italy wrong path in fighting coronavirus : scientist

Italy's measures do not seem to be working 

in last three days 5,000 to 6,000 new infections per day

world's highest death toll despite three weeks lockdown

highest daily death toll was Friday, 919 fatalities

only slightly lower in following two days

should change strategy to separate people with symptoms from families

many new cases being infected by fellow family members at home

instead of self-isolate at home, set up centers to separate them from families

as was done in China where the epidemic originated in December.

• why despite restrictive measures, we are still seeing infections? 
• people who are sick at home are infecting their family 
• the infections are happening at home

in Italy's affluent Veneto, blanket testing introduced in Feb

identified cases and limited contagion much more successfully than Lombardy

In Lombardy only people with severe symptoms are tested, and only in hospitals.

(OSTB : This was also the case in Malaysian hospitals. Please note.)

Lombardy hardest hit with 6,360 coronavirus deaths

whereas Veneto recorded just 392 deaths

similar approach to Veneto should now be conducted nationwide

need to be much more aggressive in identifying people who are sick at home

need to go to their homes, test them, family, friends, neighbors

all who test positive should be taken out of their homes
