He cannot return to work because he has not yet received the result of the swab that was done at Capodichino airport when he returned from a trip to Belgium.

It’s the story that involves Gennaro Vitale, 65-year-old from Naples, who already last Saturday should have resumed service as a school assistant and technical director at an institute, and today is in fiduciary isolation with the phone pressed to his ear in search of news related to his exam .

The man, together with his wife, had taken a flight on August 13 to Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, from where he later arrived in the city of Antwerp by land to spend the summer holidays with one of the children who resides in the Belgian town.

“My wife and I came back on Friday – says Gennaro – and asked for a tampon even though health workers told us it was not necessary. Now we have been in prison for three days in the house, more with the refrigerator and pantry practically empty.

Gennaro’s anger is compounded by the difficulty in contacting the ASL prevention department to which he belongs, in his case the Napoli 1 center, to obtain the result of the swab. “De Luca cannot imprison citizens, you must also be able to properly organize the mechanism for communicating the results of the tests – highlights the school employee – no one answers the relevant numbers. This morning I was on the phone from 9.30 to 12 with the switchboard number 800909699. They attended to me after hours giving me a number dedicated to swabs that are made at the airport, which however is always busy and sometimes even seems disconnected.

Meanwhile, Gennaro has been unjustifiably absent from work for two days because no statement has been issued proving the completion of a tampon and compliance with the home quarantine pending the result. Nor has he been able to obtain a sickness certificate because his treating physician is on vacation. “If I do not go to work tomorrow, 120 people will not pay overtime – he says – I am angry that they lock me up at home because the region is not equipped to give a quick response in terms of tampons. In the rest of the regions, the results are known in half a day.
