Salvini: with fever, but I’m in Formello. Then deny: negative covid test

On Friday, despite the fever, in Formello for the usual crowd bath spiced up by the usual barrage of selfies. The next day, the fever subsides and the stiff neck remains. But the test that says “no Covid” is still going on. Matteo Salvini becomes a coincidence: on Friday night he takes the stage set up in Formello for the political-cultural event “Itaca 20.20” and, before answering questions from Tg2 director Gennaro Sangiuliano, reveals that he is not at his best moment: “I want to be here even if it is a little sore and a little feverish,” says the leader of the League, as the excitement in the public rises.

The health authorities also advise against walking with flu symptoms considering that the country is still in a health emergency. Shortly before speaking into the microphone, on Friday night, it was Salvini himself who explained that the doctor had advised him to stay home. However, Salvini did not listen to advice: drugs are better than canceling commitments. “Today the day has not started very well, I was on cortisone for two hours and when I got up the doctor told me, now he is going home – words of the leader of the Northern League -. And I answered yes, but first I go to Anguillara Sabazia, then to Formello and I end up in Terracina (Anguillara and Terracina for the ballots, ed.). And at night I go home ». During her speech, then, Salvini explained to the public that it is wrong to relate fever only to Covid, since the causes may be other. The next morning, Saturday, Salvini publishes a photo on social networks that portrays him with a drip on his arm: “Cortisone drip, to overcome back, neck and shoulder pain, and that’s it.”
