Vito Piazzolla, general director of the ASL of Foggia, sheds light on the five new positive cases, out of a total of 65 in Puglia, registered in the last 24 hours in Foggia and in the province: “These are two cases related to outbreaks already known and limited; 2 people returned from Sardinia and Campania respectively; a symptomatic person, identified thanks to the recommendation of the GP. Active health surveillance has been organized for all. For new cases, not linked to pre-existing outbreaks, the corporate hygiene service is rapidly rebuilding the chains of contagion.“.

Of the 65 newly infected in Puglia, 29 belong to a group of passengers from Bari and its province who have returned from an organized bus trip to Calabria.

Infections in the other provinces of Apulia

Antonio Sanguedolce (Asl Bari): “Today, in the province of Bari, we have registered 56 cases of positivity to SARS Cov2. 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. On the other hand, the Prevention Department is investigating to reconstruct the contagion chain and isolate new outbreaks. It is necessary – concludes Sanguedolce – that citizens strictly adhere to the known rules to avoid the spread of contagion: maintain interpersonal distances; wear the mask; frequently disinfect hands with hydroalcoholic solutions. “

Alessandro Delle Donne (Asl Bat): “There are 3 positive cases registered today in the Bat province, of which 2 are attributable to positive cases registered in recent days. Only one case is symptomatic. “

Rodolfo Rollo (ASL Lecce): “The only case registered today by the Prevention Department is that of a resident of the province of Lecce, who came into close contact with a positive from outside the Region.”
