For Furlani Carni, a Trentino company that has been in the domestic market for more than 70 years, this is a bad blow. Among the workers of an external company, mostly natives of Ghana and Sri Lanka, there was an outbreak of Covid 19: there are 26 positive tests, but now all employees who, directly or indirectly, work for Furlani, will be cleared. Results are expected in the next few hours.
For him President and Managing Director of the via Maccani spa, Manuel Furlani, it has been a difficult day.
But let’s look at the positive side: the boys are all fine, most without symptoms.
How did it turn out that Covid 19 had positive aspects?
Over the weekend, two of them had flu symptoms at home. The sanitary company has been notified that it has placed pads for the entire production line. They tested positive in 26, mostly asymptomatic.
Are they your employees?
No, they work for us in a meat deboning belt, but they are employees of another company.
How did the infection happen?
I do not know. The health authority is conducting investigations to verify what contacts there have been. There is talk of a baptism party that dates back to about ten days ago. I do not know if the contagion between colleagues occurred on that cordial occasion. Certainly at Furlani Carni we follow all safety requirements to the letter. We are a bit like in the hospital.
Hospital?
I mean that precautions are maximum, and they were even before Covid. All employees involved in the meat processing stages must wear the mask regardless of distance. They wear hospital-style gowns and aprons that are changed every day. The use of gloves is mandatory. In addition, work environments are sanitized on a daily basis. Everyone’s body temperature is measured.
What impact did Covid have on your business before yesterday?
Still, it is limited for us, even if we obviously feel the picture of a severe economic crisis brought on by the pandemic.
Did you close during the confinement?
No, we have always stayed open even in the most difficult periods.
Is there another problem?
May.
But is meat safe?
Of course also because there are no contacts. The meat is only touched with knives and gloves.
What will you do now?
We will have to close for the time necessary for greater ozone-based disinfection and follow any prescription of the health authority.
