Coronavirus, the Bioparc of Rome prohibits the entry of a family: “Come from Sardinia, stay out”

No admittance. The reason? The origin, from Sardinia. And that’s enough for him Biopark of Rome, to allow a family from Sanluri, in southern Sardinia, to visit Rome outside the door. After an hour of waiting – which later proved useless – before the four tourists entered, a self-certification form was presented: those who have been in Croatia, Greece, Malta and Spain or in the Sardinia region in the last 14 days they cannot enter. To report that it is The New Sardinia: “I complained – Agostina Mancosu, protagonist of the misadventure, told the newspaper – I pointed out that there is no such rule and I also asked if by chance they had not added the ban for those arriving from SardiniaAlso because in the form there is no precise regulatory reference, neither to the dpcm of Palazzo Chigi nor to the regional ordinances, to the possible directive that equates the island to the four countries at risk. Nothing, the family was not allowed access to the zoo.

The history

“We were lined up in front of the box office,” Agostina Mancosu, a teacher, told the Sardinian newspaper when they were invited to buy tickets online. Thanks Mancosu. And this brief exchange of words that will prove fatal: “An employee recognized the Sardinian accent and told me that he should have informed a superior of our presence.” And here the family is presented with the form that specifies the entry ban for those who have been in Sardinia in the last 14 days. The professor’s protests are in vain, who pointed out that there was no such rule. “The only answer I got is that they had to do everything possible to protect the health of the visitors, but also the animals.”
