47 rhino-pharyngeal molecular swabs tested positive for COVID-19, which, added to the 22 already established in recent days, bring the Galati Mamertino outbreak to 69. This was recently announced by Deputy Mayor Vincenzo Amadore, whom we contacted by phone.
Of 47 quick swabs delivered in the last few days and processed, the positive response was 100%. This afternoon in the area specifically dedicated to the drive-in cinema, next to the Carabinieri barracks, about thirty molecular swabs will be performed on the rest of the people who yesterday tested positive in the rapid test, including the 6 high school children. In addition, tomorrow the screening activity with rapid tests will resume, a part in agreement with a private analysis laboratory for vulnerable groups for whom home sampling is planned and the rest with the USCA (about 500). The idea now is to evaluate the entire population, starting with primary and secondary students. For those who test positive on the rapid test, the molecular test is provided immediately.
“The results that the ASP communicates to us oblige us to evaluate more restrictive provisions to contain the contagion. In the next few hours a new ordinance will be issued with instructions for the population. “Amadore said” We are in contact with the extraordinary Commissioner for the coronavirus emergency Carmelo Crisicelli and with the Regional Health Councilor Ruggero Razza to evaluate all the necessary measures. No It is ruled out that the red zone could be activated in the next few hours, but we want to make all decisions with the greatest caution and reflection ”, adds the administrator.
“I would like to point out that most of the people who tested positive are asymptomatic, while some have mild symptoms. Several voluntary associations have made themselves available to provide an assistance service for the delivery of medicines to all families who are in isolation. this difficult moment, which we will not soon forget, but from which we will emerge stronger than before, if we all give our contribution ”concludes Amadore.
