Genoa. We cannot speak of an assault but people arrive in an orderly and continuous manner to theAsl3 clinic open from this morning at 8 in the building of the Commenda Pré where the Genoese so fast and free can run the unhealthy tampon.
Genoa24 I went to see closely how the clinic works that in just 8 minutes provides a significant first result of coronavirus negativity or positivity.

“People are welcome at the entrance – explains the Asl3 health director Marta Caltabellotta and they are assigned a number where they can wait to take the test. “
Once inside, users are identified and registered, then in a separate structure the test is performed (with the swab inserted into the nasal cavity, then they sit outside, in a space separate from the external entrance. After 8 minutes the result: “Those that are negative can go out with the result in hand, those that are technically positive speak of non-negativity to the antigen test, instead they are returned and in another room of the historic building they are second test, the molecular”.
In this case, the test must be processed in the laboratory of the San Martino hospital: “This second result takes about 48 hours,” Caltabellotta explains, “and people have to go home and remain isolated until they are contacted.”
However, the result of the sanitary napkin is not bad at all., as Caltabellotta confirms: “Normally those that are positive for the antigen are also positive for the molecular one.”
To give some numbers, on this first day 150 swabs were made and 10 positive cases (best, not negative) were identified.
The population that expects a swab is very varied: there are many foreigners, so much so that an Arabic interpreter is present in the clinic, but also Italians, elderly couples, students, adults. “The first to arrive this morning were a couple with a 9-month-old baby,” continues the doctor. “It is an excellent opportunity for us that we can do a more massive follow-up but also for people who can feel calmer in this way.” The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8 to 14 and it will be active for two weeks. We remind you that to take the test you do not need to be a resident of the historic center: it is a test open to all.
The CEO of Asl3 is also very satisfied Carlo Bottaro: “This first day is going great – he says because there is a great civic sense on the part of citizens regardless of ethnicity, sex and age. The road is absolutely peaceful and being able to take advantage of a space such as the commenda allows us to provide citizens with a fast and free service that will help reassure many fellow citizens ”.
