Covid-19 closed hospital medicine 2 San Juan of Rome. A necessary measure after the discovery of two doctors, a nurse, an assistant and five patients found positive for the coronavirus. One of the doctors and the nurse, after carrying out the swab, were transferred to Spallanzani, where they are hospitalized.

The room has been closed “temporarily” since April 24, the day the outbreak officially exploded, to allow for sanitation and while all staff are expected to return to regular service. Twenty-eight operators are in quarantine. The wife of one of the two doctors would also be positive and isolated at home. Sisp, the ASL Roma 1 public health and hygiene service, is investigating the group’s epidemiological link, identifying the circle of closest contacts of the ten positives.
Measures Paradoxically, San Giovanni Addolorata is one of the Covid-free nosocome of the Roman hospital network, that is, he does not accept hospitalizations of positive patients. These are diverted rather to Umberto I, San Filippo Neri, Gemelli, S. Andrea or the Polyclinic of Tor Vergata, to mention the main hospital of Covid. Since when the first coronavirus death occurred in Rome in early March in San Giovannni (an 87-year-old man who began January 17, long before the emergency broke out, passed through various departments during the 46 days of hospitalization) due to contagion in the wards, they accelerated under pressure from staff, from cleaners to doctors who were not yet equipped with the appropriate personal protective equipment, worried about having to deal with the new and insidious virus that came from China.
In a hurry, access routes were separated, proper triage was arranged in the emergency room to immediately intercept positive potentials, and visits from family and friends from abroad were completely blocked. Even today, if personal effects are to be brought to patients, family members communicate with wards and leave the material to the operators. Therefore, it becomes even more inexplicable, now, how the Covid-19 has found its way back to one of the main departments of the building in via dell’Amba Aradam. The hypotheses are diverse, but none seem to be verified at this time. Most credited is that it may have been brought by a health professional employed in multiple facilities. But in fact, it is a circumstance that, at least for the time being, has not been supported by actual findings.
THE FALSE NEGATIVE There is one element of concern to the anti-Covid task forces that are working tirelessly to stop the virus in Lazio: the so-called false negative swabs. That is, the hyssop itself does not give absolute certainty of the presence of the disease, which is indicated with greater certainty only on key days of symptoms. Therefore, it is happening that people who leave the hospital even with negative swabs and who then need secondary care in rehabilitation centers or nursing homes have turned out to be positive and lead to new infections. Few cases, fortunately, so far. But that indicates a potential danger that should not be underestimated.
