The death occurred at the Dimiccoli hospital in Barletta where she was admitted for about five days, after waiting 11 hours before being accepted into the emergency room.

The day before Furthermore, her hospitalization in Barletta had been sent home from the emergency room in Trani, where she had gone because she was unwell. A cardiologist, Peppe Carpagnano, on duty at the same hospital where Antonella died, writes on social media that “after a 12-hour night shift” you go home “devastated” and “you receive a message from your colleague to inform you that the patient from whom he you spoke has passed away “. The cardiologist points out that “we do not have the proper personnel and tools” and “it was probably the ineffective measures to combat the virus that killed her.” According to the reconstruction of the incident, the 41-year-old man, who did not present any particular pathologies, after a week in which the symptoms of the infection became more and more evident, was accompanied by family members to the emergency room of the Trani hospital , which would not be equipped for a Covid cure. From here, the woman would be sent home. The next day the family members contacted the referring doctor who advised her to go to the emergency room in Barletta where, after a long wait, she was hospitalized. For a few days, relatives managed to obtain only fragmentary information about their relative’s health conditions until the phone call on Thursday announcing his death. (ANSA).
