Coronavirus, because cases in Campania have increased

The increase in coronavirus cases in Campania is accompanied by a increased local detection, in particular with regard to controls related to the return of tourists.

Of the 270 cases that emerged from 6,729 swabs, 58 came from Sardinia and 67 from abroad.

In a note from the Crisis Unit reported by ‘Ansa’, we read: “As is known, the Campania Region, in a first phase, adopted strategies characterized by a careful prognostic analysis aimed at curbing the infection, which, together with the blockade, have characterized this region as one of the lowest prevalence and incidence of infection among the population. In this second phase, which originates in the reopening of activities and borders and the return of vacations, the strategy was characterized by an approach not only aimed at predicting and containing, but above all at early identification of asymptomatic infected people, to stop the transmission of infection “.

The note continues as follows: “This precautionary strategy, by identifying early with one of the most intense screening activities ever carried out in the area, allows us to quickly confine the positive Covid-19, thus avoiding a further spread of the infection, with possible repercussions in a possible autumn phase, resurgence of the infection itself. The current screening activity for returns is essential for a strategy to contain the infection “.

The Crisis Unit added: “As can be seen from the number of swabs made, 6,729, Campania is the first region in Italy that is conducting a carpet check on those returning from vacation to quickly identify and track positives that are return. In fact, of the 270 positives registered, 125 come from abroad. All the others are, in any case, positive cases traced by means of swabs of Campanians who returned from abroad in the last days or related to previous cases (contact tracing ) “.

Coronavirus, rise of infections in Campania: the expert speaks

In an interview with ‘Open’, theimmunology from the University of Padua Antonella Viola commented on the increase in coronavirus positivity cases in Campania: “We cannot judge a region on the basis of a one-day peak. In a week we could get a precise idea, for now we can say that we have seen how there is a generalized problem throughout Italy in the workplace and that there is an increase in cases linked to returns ”.
