BELLUNO The worrying thing is the contagion curve that, from one day to the next, could suffer a sudden increase as a result of the numerous swabs carried out these days. Of the six new cases, discovered yesterday by the Local Health Authority 1 Dolomiti at the provincial level, two were occasional contacts of a positive. While the other four are people related to the outbreak that broke out between San Pietro and Santo Stefano di Cadore. «New cases usually have mild or absent symptoms, reassures the Belluno health company. A person has been hospitalized in Infectious Diseases at the Belluno hospital (Comelico Resident ed.) But is affected by important basic diseases. For each confirmed case, all the public health actions provided for in the protocol were carried out, therefore, follow-up of contacts, non-compliance measures, measures in meeting places, etc. But why was there a boom in infections at Comelico? What went wrong?

Veneto coronavirus, 155 infections at night: more than 400 in two days. Treviso even earlier with 52 cases, in Venice 37, in Verona 33 The bulletin

Comelico, super virus spreaders

Perhaps citizens have not taken the necessary precautions or the distance between them and the drive-ins in Belluno and Feltre has led them to give up the trip and remain in doubt about possible positivity for the virus. “I would exclude this last possibility a priori, replied the director of the Prevention Department, Sandro Cinquetti. We have done everything possible. The outbreak depends on the spread of cases that occurs in the family and social context. As for the Comelico, the super speakers could have played a role. That is, those patients who tested positive for Covid and who, for some unknown reason, manage to infect more people than the average. “There could be two or three in Comelico, Cinquetti continues, but most cases are asymptomatic. To understand, we do not have people with a fever of 40. If they have any symptoms, it is mild. ‘ The diffusers or superdiffusers must have been the conditions to spread the virus. “The citizens of the two municipalities affected by the outbreak, explains Dr. Cinquetti, have a normal social life. They are young. They play sports that, as is known, causes an increase in respiratory activity and therefore can raise the possibility of contagion. Then of course there is the chapter on anti-covid rules. Perhaps not everyone respected them. Someone was without a mask, someone else did not respect the distance. But we have no concrete evidence.

Coronavirus, they were saved at the top now they are 40% of the positives

COMELICO From an area where there were few cases in full emergency, or even zero, to a “red zone” in the province, in the second wave of the virus. There are no explanations for what is happening in Comelico, where there are several foci, in particular between Santo Stefano and San Pietro di Cadore.

Given the spread of contagion in Comelico, the Dolomiti Local Health Authority 1 consulted the Regional Prevention Directorate and decided to carry out a first investigation with swabs even in asymptomatic subjects and not in quarantine (therefore, without close contacts of the positive ones) belonging at the seven classes of birth. represented in the cases related to the two municipal contexts (from 1950 to 1954 in S. Pietro di Cadore; 1972-1973 in both municipalities). In total, there are about 300 people. You are invited to appear tomorrow in Santo Stefano, in the municipal warehouses in Piazza Volontari della Libertà from 9.30 to 12.30, to perform a standard control buffer in drive-in mode. People must present themselves in cars with an electronic health card. No subject already isolated or in quarantine will be called to perform the test. “This is a first evaluation intervention to deepen the spread of the contagion. From the evaluation of the results of the swabs we will have a more precise epidemiological picture and we will be able to consider new initiatives to contain the infection”, explains the Director of the Prevention Department , Sandro Cinquetti. “Our tampon team made up of expert personnel – he continues – will be on site to facilitate the movement of citizens and offer the service close to home.”
