Antonio Sanguedolce, general director of the ASL of Bari, sheds light on the 56 positive cases, out of a total of 65 in Puglia, registered in the last 24 hours in Bari and in the province. Of these, 29 are citizens of Bari and its province who have returned from an organized bus trip to Calabria.

Eight, on the other hand, are close contacts of already identified cases, while the others are being investigated by the prevention department to reconstruct the chain of contagion and isolate new outbreaks.

“Citizens must strictly adhere to known rules to prevent the spread of infection: maintain interpersonal distances; wear a mask; frequently disinfect hands with hydroalcoholic solutions”.
