Ready? I would like to communicate my Immuni code. To speak a man from Padua, who has just read the result of his swab: positive to Covid-19. In solitary confinement, he has already notified his friends and co-workers and has decided to call Ulss to share the data from the Ministry of Health app that has tracked all his contacts via bluetooth in recent weeks. An information mine, connected to a random, anonymous ten-character alphanumeric sequence, which allows you to send an instant alert to those who have spent time with him, to the friends with whom he shared a dinner before the test, and even to those who sat next to him on the bus. All that remains is to insert the sequence into the database.
The Padua Hygiene Office
On the other side of the handset is thePadua Hygiene Office: Sorry: we cannot insert your code into the database. The Immuni application is not currently active in Veneto, responds the health worker who, according to the instructions in the application, must guide users step by step through the procedure through an online application. The man hangs up. His contacts are still stuck on the phone. And none of the people who installed Immuni and contacted him will receive the notification that puts them on alert. It could have been an isolated case. But even an acquaintance of the man would have done the same phone process and ended up in the same dead end. We also tested it Messenger of the Veneto. And, after calling the Padua Hygiene Office to inform us about the procedure to follow for those who are positive and have activated Immuni, the operator’s response was that there is no procedure to use the Immuni application code. , because it is not currently active in Veneto.
The other provinces
The situation, it seems, does not only affect the Padua area, but also the other health companies in our region. The same would happen in other parts of Italy, where the ASL would not require the code to access the tracking data. The President of the Region Luca zaia reassures: We do everything that is foreseen as a task by the public body for the management of Immuni, respecting the competences. Let’s do what is expected of those who download Immune, not those who remain isolated in Veneto, God forbid. It could have been a momentary blockage, caused by a technical problem internal to the information system of the Venetian health system. We do not have any problems of this type – responded the technicians of the Immuni toll-free number, whom we contacted to find out if there were any malfunctions in the system. In Veneto it works immune.
He database
No momentary errors from the healthcare provider, no app glitches. Could it be that the Immuni database was never full of positive user codes? However, more than 8 million users in our country have joined the application: 1.4 million only since last October 3. Veneto is the fourth region in number of downloads, behind Lombardy, Lazio and Emilia Romagna.: there are more than 534 thousand, according to data from the Ministry of Health, between June 1 and September 30. This is 12.55% of the population over 14 years of age. Despite continuous calls from the government to use the application, defined as a tool to prevent possible outbreaks, it took a long time to take hold. As of September 30, there were only 323 positive cases registered in the app, again according to the ministry, only one in Veneto. The Veneto Region announces that the procedure for entering the codes should begin in the next few days: Now the IT platform that connects positive subjects with any contact is ready, explains the doctor. Francesca Russo of the Department of Prevention, Food Safety, Veterinary Medicine.
The letter
Send a letter to the Ulss communicating what the Sisp (Hygiene offices, ed) They have to do. Starting next week, the platform will be operational. There were discussions with the central level months ago. At first there was talk of an experimental procedure only in some regions, then things continued for a long time almost everywhere. Now, also in the light of greater citizen participation, the system has been refined. When you receive a notification in the Immuni application of a possible contact with a positive, you contact the Sisp by communicating your code. From that moment on, the regional health system begins an evaluation, specifically accompanying the subject on the usual route of contact tracing. Therefore, starting next week, Immuni should also work in our region and begin a new stage in the fight against the pandemic.
