T38 0-46 Sentence denotes Why Are There These Differences Among Regions?
T39 47-205 Sentence denotes Substantial differences occur throughout Italy, with the north of the country, predominantly Lombardy, exhibiting the highest rates of spread and mortality.1.
T40 206-498 Sentence denotes One possible explanation is that the above-mentioned Italian regions represent a central driver of the Italian economy, being the headquarters of several major industries; individuals from other regions and other countries who are involved with such industries may spread the virus elsewhere.
T41 499-666 Sentence denotes Nevertheless, other Italian cities that are overcrowded because of business and tourism, such as Rome, have not experienced the same prevalence and spread of COVID-19.
T42 667-810 Sentence denotes A supposition could be that the northern experience led to severe restrictive measures throughout the country, thereby containing the outbreak.
T43 811-813 Sentence denotes 2.
T44 814-904 Sentence denotes Climate conditions may also be relevant to the differences reported among Italian regions.
T45 905-1120 Sentence denotes Higher temperature and humidity may block virus diffusion and reduce its persistence in the air and on the objects.6 This explanation has been given to the unequal distribution of the contagion among the continents.
T46 1121-1260 Sentence denotes In Italy, however, differences in climate among regions are less than what exists between Italy and other parts of the world such as China.
T47 1261-1263 Sentence denotes 3.
T48 1264-1366 Sentence denotes More recently, there is increasing attention on the possible role of air pollution in virus diffusion.
T49 1367-1650 Sentence denotes The correlation between the air pollution index and increased fatality was previously hypothesized for the severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a virus member of the Coronaviridae family; subsequent evidence supported this hypothesis for the severe acute respiratory syndrome.
T50 1651-1840 Sentence denotes In particular, atmospheric particulate seems to act as a carrier of the virus, facilitating its diffusion and dissemination and allowing its survival in active form for hours and even days.
T51 1841-1992 Sentence denotes Indeed, air pollution imposes an increased vulnerability of the population to respiratory syndromes, even in the absence of microbial causative agents.
T52 1993-2225 Sentence denotes A recently published position paper of the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine in collaboration with 2 Italian universities compared COVID-19 case distribution (updated to March 3) and air pollution levels in the past 20 days.
T53 2226-2462 Sentence denotes Interestingly, northern Italy had both the most polluted area and the highest number of cases of COVID-19, thereby supporting the possibility that the degree of air pollution may contribute to regional differences in cases of COVID-19.7
T54 2463-2597 Sentence denotes In sum, there is no single explanation that accounts for the severity and catastrophic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy.
T55 2598-2746 Sentence denotes Intense and sustained effort is needed to optimize strategies that prevent the spread of infection and to devise targeted therapies for the disease.
T56 2747-2879 Sentence denotes In the meantime, severe restrictive measures and strict social distancing are crucial to contain the contagion among the population.
T57 2880-3080 Sentence denotes Hospitals should be provided with appropriate personal protective equipment, ventilators, and further intensive care unit equipment to preserve the medical staff and to optimize care for all patients.
