Cagliari, “my daughter imprisoned at home: she has been waiting 10 days for the result of the swab”

The fever arrives on September 11 and lasts for five days. Meanwhile, phone calls to the ATS and the Region are almost in vain, and in the middle there is also the report prepared by a pediatrician. And, above all, the result of a swab that, after ten days, still does not arrive. Despite herself, the protagonist of the story is a 14-year-old girl who lives in Cagliari. There are four in the family: her, her little brother, mom and dad. A family unit that has been waiting for almost two weeks to know if the virus has also reached their lives or not. Better, in that of the little girl: “My husband and I did not rub each other, we could not do the isolation and not go to work,” explains CP, a 49-year-old housewife, mother of the child. “My daughter was ill two Fridays ago, the fever lasted five days and reached 38. The hyssop, she and her little brother, was delivered the following Wednesday, according to the pediatrician.” Then, waiting for the results, between phone calls and emails. One, in particular, bears the date of September 21: “A week after the tests, I asked to have the results urgently.” The only concrete response came two days later, sent from the Ats Infectious Diseases email address: “I hereby forward the reports you requested, where unfortunately the only and exclusive report on the child has reached us. As soon as the other little ones arrive, we will send you everything. We apologize for the delay in replying. To be honest. The Working Group. “A response that made the young mother roll her eyes:” Since I’m just waiting for another outcome, my son’s was sent to me, fortunately negative. But is it possible that, ten days later, my daughter is still forced to be imprisoned in the house?

Without any results, the first week of classes was to be blessed: “He had to go to the dentist, then see his grandparents: he can’t do anything,” remarks GP. “On the phone they told me that if 72 hours pass and we don’t receive any message, it should be assumed that the result of the swab is negative. But, how is it possible, if from September 16 until today they have not yet reported my daughter’s report? ”The end of the quarantine, however, calendar in hand, it is close: “Yes, but then to go to school I think a sheet that certifies your negativity to the Coronavirus is mandatory: when can you have it?”
