“I had a swab and it came out negative. So I went from Sardinia to Cortina and brought the virus. “GPB is the Roman boy who brought Covid to Cortina. He is 26 years old and is admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Belluno hospital, he has interstitial pneumonia. Between a cough and A pause talks about his experience, the fear of having infected relatives and acquaintances, Il Messaggero interviews him.

Your summer probably took this left turn in Sardinia.
“I was on vacation in the bay of Porto Istana, between San Teodoro and Porto Rotondo, with a group of friends. How many? Not ten, at least 75, it is a small bay, they come from all over Italy, a kind of meeting, a good 15 percent is positive ”.

In Porto Rotondo he spent part of his vacation and says that there was no prevention. Then he left. On August 17, he took a plane from Olbia to Venice. The next day, the Roman boy cleans himself. And he says: “I spent the night before the test result with friends. Then when they warned me that it was negative, it was 19, I thought: “how nice, now that the party begins, I can go hug and kiss my grandmother. In Cortina I spent the days between trips and stops in bars. On the 20th I participated in the Cortina Summer Party ”.

“Instead, after two days I started to have a fever, a dear friend of mine who was with me in Sardinia warned me that it was positive. So I picked up the phone, called the toll-free number of the Asl, Belluno hospital explaining that I had been in contact with a positive, who was returning from Sardinia, had a high fever and a cough and lived with my grandmother, aunt, a cousin and my father. “.

Then the swab again and it turns out to be a false negative:

Why did they tell me it was only negative? They replied that there is an incubation period that can last around 14 days. (…) I would have avoided two days of pneumonia at home by putting at risk the entire list of hundreds of people with whom I have been in contact. Careful checks must be carried out at the Cortina Summer Festival. ‘ She was going “home”, she met everyone and it was a false negative. Now he is angry, worried, for many, as well as positive for Covid.
