Overview
- Regional official Guido Bertolaso said all patients treated in Milan are no longer in imminent danger, with those once in intensive care now in Niguarda’s major burns unit.
- About one third of those transferred in early January have been discharged, including a 55-year-old Italo‑Swiss woman who returned to Geneva but will continue dressings in Milan.
- Clinicians warn of ongoing risks for major burn patients, particularly infections, and note that some prognoses remain open as surgeries, grafts and rehabilitation continue.
- The Swiss criminal inquiry is widening, with 263 civil parties, a case file exceeding 2,000 pages and more than 8,500 exhibits, and ongoing interrogations of owners Jacques and Jessica Moretti.
- Investigators tied delays in municipal fire inspections to software update problems, prompting Cantonal plans for added training, a new IT platform and a full fire‑protection law review, while a small blaze at the memorial led to a ban on candles.
