most of the Internal Medicine wards in the Lombardy hospitals, have beens almost completely reorganized to accommodate the management of patients with COVID-19. Analysis of the data coming from Lombardy is useful and necessary since this is the Region in Italy where there is the greatest spread of the SARS-CoV-2 [1]. For this reason, we carried out a survey with FADOI Lombardy (Federation of Associations of Hospital Internist Doctors of Lombardy), covering 22 Internal Medicine wards out of the approximately 110 in the Regional Hospitals.
