“We are following the situation of Cra Santa Teresa di Faenza with the utmost attention, as in all circumstances. We are close to the families and loved ones of our guests with whom we will always keep in touch to update them on the evolution of the matter.” The representatives of the cooperative ‘Il Cammino’ that manages the Manfreda senior center, where in recent days a large outbreak of coronavirus has broken out with more than 70 infections.

“On November 25 in the breeding, the antigenic swabs required for routine screening by Ausl were performed, all of which were negative – explains the cooperative – Later, finding some symptoms potentially attributable to Covid, on December 4 we requested a new Ausl intervention to monitor the situation. Meanwhile, we independently proceeded to subject the hosts and residents to antigenic swabs again, detecting some easily isolated positivity. On December 7, after our activation, the Ausl performed the molecular swabs. The results came the next day, during which we replaced all the infected staff with resources outside the structure from other contexts of our cooperative, we also developed a user isolation plan that was discussed with the Faenza Health District and with the Departments of public health. Different spaces of the structure have been assigned to positive and negative hosts with separate paths. A large number of guests and operators are asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic and, therefore, hospital admissions were not necessary, only control by the Ausl working group “.

“During the first wave our territory was characterized by a very limited number of infections in the population – they continue – The situation is very different in this second phase and Faenza is particularly affected by the pandemic. This naturally requires an intensification of monitoring activities, which will be done with shorter intervals using molecular swabs. The channels dedicated to prevention activities aimed at residential and hospital operators should be strengthened. We will continue to work closely with Ausl and the Department of Public Health to best manage this moment and get out of it as soon as possible. “
