“Starting on Monday a new phase of contrast with the coronavirus begins with an investigation through serological tests that will serve to open a season safely”. The president of the Lazio region, Nicola Zingaretti, has illustrated the procedures to initiate 300 thousand serological tests in Lazio, in the presence of the health councilor, Alessio D’Amato and the scientific director of Spallanzani, Giuseppe Ippolito.

“It is, explained the Minister of Health and Social Integration-Health of the Lazio Region, Alessio D’Amato, the largest seroprevalence survey ever conducted in Italy.”

Serological testing will include health personnel, law enforcement officers, guests, and RSA employees on a voluntary basis and with informed consent to understand how the virus has circulated in communities.

As of Monday, D’Amato explained, tests began with the Guardia di Finanza military. This test is aimed at the most exposed subjects in the battle against Covid: it will affect all health professionals, including general practitioners, pediatricians, specialist doctors, pharmacists and operators of accredited private structures. It will also affect those involved in cleaning, services, including subcontractors, operators of the RSA, which has an audience of more than 100,000 operators.

The tests will be carried out on the basis of individual and voluntary participation with informed consent and there is monitoring and data collection and the Spallanzani Institute will be the guarantor of all procedures.D’Amato added.

The tests will not grant an immunity ‘license’, but will allow for the collection of very important data that will flow into a database for contrast and pandemic prevention. What do we expect from the tests?

We hope to have confirmation that the virus circulation rate in our region is around 3 percent and, for asymptomatic patients, confirmation of the estimate at 1 percent.

We monitor the level of contagion day by day and, according to the criteria of the monitoring table, we will produce regional ordinances that will accompany the national one or, if there is the possibility of expansion, we will do so if the epidemiological curve allows it. The approach based on scientific evaluations is the only way we have to give the perception of security in the citizens who will have to go to the stores.“Zingaretti concluded.
