Italy’s COVID-19 cases surged to 59,138 on March 23, pushing hospitals to their limits. At the heart of the storm is Dr. Rodolfo Ferrari, working tirelessly at a triage structure outside Imola’s Hospital S. Maria della Scaletta. ⚡️ Armed with swabs, he tests patients for the virus, making split-second decisions that determine who goes home—and who stays for urgent care.
💡 \"Every negative test is a small victory,\" says Ferrari. But with beds already full, his team races to prevent the system from collapsing. Those testing positive are admitted immediately, while others recover at home. It’s a high-stakes balancing act—one wrong call could strain resources further.
