Five bypass routes, based on a tourist village of houses in the green, swimming pool, outdoor activities.
“An extraordinary experience – reported the promotional flyer – that leaves the pleasant taste of unspoiled landscapes” But something went wrong. Having left Cuneo by bus on Monday the 14th, after measuring their fever and wearing masks, the group arrived at the “Norcenni Girasole Village”, not far from Figline Valdarno (Florence). Here, they met again with two pairs of cyclists, registered for the trip, but who had already arrived by car before, for a bike ride in Florence. Single two of the latter suffered symptoms on Tuesday and returned to Cuneo Wednesday, with their respective companions. In the meantime, a fifth participant received a phone call from the Cuneo ASL, informing them that they had been in contact with a positive person. He also returned to Cuneo leaving the group, who continued the journey without problems..
To Saturday: During the return by bus, the group received the news that, after the swab, two of the five who returned early tested positive. General anxiety, then The analyzes were extended to the entire crew and yesterday (Wednesday, September 23) the results: another 10 positive people (in total 12 cases) and 21 negative, including the bus driver. «All in isolation, their health conditions are good – assures the president of Bicingiro, Laura Vinai –. We are very sorry about what happened, both we and the accommodation have rigorously applied the provisions, that is, masks, gels, fever measurement, spacings, and we are trying to understand what happened. It was very hot, perhaps the air conditioning acted as a vector. “Strange and curious coincidence, many of the participants were in a couple, but despite living together in close contact, one was positive and the other negative,” he adds. Despite the restrictions, this virus spreads in a very unpredictable way. I hope that the infected recover as soon as possible.
