Bologna, September 30, 2020 – Outbreak by piazza Scaravilli It’s now called Cinque Terre and Ausl 007 is having a hard time struggling with epidemiological investigations: to track the various movements of the students, they also keep in touch with their colleagues in Liguria. Until now, the 14 children tested positivewhile the Bolognese executives who participated in the conference with almost 400 participants, they went from two infected to three. Meanwhile, yesterday’s Covid newsletter features a victim, a 65-year-old man from Casalecchio.

Doctor Paolo Pandolfi, have you finished the research on Erasmus students?
“Not yet. We have muted 102 children, 14 tested positive, while 10 are under surveillance due to close contacts in one case. We have not yet completed the test results. It is difficult to trace them all – admits the director of the Department of Public Health – “, because on the night of the meeting they were in an open place, in Piazza Scaravilli, and it is not known exactly how many there were. Therefore, there may still be news. Furthermore, in our opinion, the infection should have occurred in Liguria, in the Cinque Terre. That’s why we call it the Cinque Terre outbreak. “
How did you understand this?
“Due to the fact that some of them in the previous days had been in the places where the virus circulates. In addition, we had to request the presence of linguistic mediators ”.
Why?
“The group is not only made up of Spanish university students, but also German and Danish. And when we realized that the ten boys sent to the Covid hotel did not want to stay there because their swabs were negative, we asked for the support of the mediators to explain to them that, instead, they had to remain isolated. In the end they understood it, but it was hard ”.
What other shoots are you working on?
In the case of managers, a third was added to the two positives, but as the students enrolled in the course came from various parts of Italy, we sent a communication to the Ministry of Health who will contact the health authorities concerned directly. I had yet another positive from the outbreak of the evangelical church, which broke out in early September and now closed us: we traced 110 contacts, made 93 swabs and discovered 58 positives. “
Are there new hospitalizations?
“Yes. Of the 17 symptomatic people, two have been hospitalized, but they are not in serious condition. The other cases belong to a family outbreak, which is sporadic for us.”
