If this swab is positive, the subject will go into predetermined isolation, with separation to preserve fragile subjects.

A series of automatisms is foreseen
a) The negative result of the swabs (molecular or antigenic) is also communicated by SMS
b) The negative result of the swabs (molecular or antigenic) is also communicated by SMS with a message of completion of isolation and predetermined measures
c) The insertion of the swab request in suspicious or Covid-compatible subjects automatically generates the fiduciary isolation measure, which is also communicated via SMS
d) The insertion of close contacts automatically generates the quarantine measure, which is also communicated via SMS
e) The inclusion by laboratories or doctors of positive results automatically implies the default order issued by the CSI platform with the acquisition of the protocol number, also useful for INPS purposes;
f) If the swab mentioned in point c gives a negative result, the fiduciary isolation of the suspect or COVID-compatible subject and the close contact quarantine are automatically revoked.
