«I made a buffer, negative for Covid. On television only a nuisance for the vocal cords »- Corriere.it

There are no symptoms of Covid, it is a suffering in the vocal cords that the premier has suffered for years, which worsens in the winter and often causes him to cough. The clarification comes from the Palazzo Chigi, which sweeps away any allegations about the suspicious cough of the prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, who yesterday during the broadcast made by Lilli Gruber on La7 had made listeners suspicious. It is also added that this morning President Conte has undergone a molecular swab, on the occasion of his participation in the Italian-Spanish summit scheduled for tomorrow in Palma de Mallorca. The test gave a negative result, it is reported.

Even the host of Otto e Mezzo, speaking on the Rai Radio1 broadcast `Un Giorno da Pecora, confirmed that Conte seemed very determined, a little tired, even with his voice a little low. But absolutely normal for a man who has put work at the center of his life, I would like not to see those who would not be tired …, Gruber explained to Rai Radio1. The prime minister’s voice, and in particular some coughing, had triggered the comments on social media. Gruber confirmed that his vocal cords were sore and fatigued, so he would cough from time to time, but not, as I read, that he may have the Coronavirus. Let’s not be silly, he wasn’t scared at all, and he certainly wouldn’t put the health of others at risk. The presenter said having had problems with the vocal cords herself, since those who use their voice a lot, and those who have these problems must do a minimum of training, exercises with the vocal cords. And so he advised Conte on breathing exercises and vocal cords.
