“It is unacceptable to keep children waiting for hours”

“An embarrassing situation. It is true that compared to Tuesday at Ca ‘Foncello things are improving, but it is not acceptable for children to wait hours in the car to get a quick swab ». Say it’s the Director of Ulss 2, Francesco Benazzi, who on Wednesday morning went to the old San Giuseppe Customs House to personally assess the new location dedicated to Covid provided by the Municipality.

“Unfortunately, regionally in recent times, no agreement has been reached with pediatricians to ensure that they should clean their patients directly, thus lightening the burden on hospital staff, and this is the result given that only today 70% of the cars in the queue are here for the quick test in minors. Therefore, from Thursday we will extend the buffer time from 7 to 19, reserving the 7-12 range only for minors. This both in Customs and in other access points throughout the province of Treviso. This is to ensure that children get immediate results without having to wait hours sitting in the car. Thus, We apologize for the inconvenience today, but we are quickly reorganizing».

In addition, to understand the scope of what happened this morning, it is enough to think that until the other day the service we offered was handled perfectly in about 400 daily tampons, but only today we had about 700 and you understand that it is not easy to follow such a large amount of people, especially if most of them are children who inevitably need more time for the test than the classic 5 minutes of an adult. As for Conegliano’s drawbacks, I thank Mayor Chies who immediately made the Zoppas area available to us, while for Castelfranco Veneto we will go to Altivole. We hope to resolve these two situations within the next week, to have larger and free buffer areas. Finally, in Oderzo they offered us the area of ​​the old Boario Forum and there we will set up an outside shed so as not to clog the local Covid Hospital ».
