“He came out positive from the Biagio Conte mission and crossed all of Palermo”

“A guest of the Biagio Conte Mission left the red zone and arrived at the Immigration Directorate of the Palermo Police Headquarters on via San Lorenzo, touring the entire city by public transport, presenting himself at one of the counters open to the public” . The complaint is from Usip, the Italian police union, which sent a letter to Chief of Police Renato Cortese. The subject of the letter is “New coronavirus pneumonia, request for clarification.”

The episode, denounced by the union, would have occurred today. “The non-community citizen from the” red zone “appeared at one of the counters open to the public: only at that moment did the police, after the required identification procedures, find out that he was positive for Covid-19. All evidence how this news has left us astonished. History worries us, and not a little, not only because of the inevitable negative effects, if there are positive subjects for Covid-19 within these offices, how much, and above all, if the planned health prophylaxis is appropriate for the office with the realization of swabs for all those colleagues who have had contact with the missing man.Also last week there were strong critical issues in the disembarkation operations, from the Allegra ship of the migrants quarantined, by the too much confusion and the precarious conditions, from the point of view of health, in which colleagues worked ”.

In light of the above, the letter reads, USIP “requests to know what measures the Palermo Police Headquarters has adopted and intends to adopt to protect the health of colleagues from the Migration Office, who are notoriously highly exposed to activity to which they are called to carry out; we would not want the measures adopted so far to contain the spread of the infection to be
in vain in the absence of the due precautions, since this “invisible enemy” does not rule out anyone, and above all does not select victims “.
