Coronavirus, Val d’Aosta declares three municipalities red zones: “Contagions grow after the holidays”
The reasons for the rapid and vigorous spread of the infection? Try to explain them Luca montagnani, health coordinator of the crisis unit on the Covid emergency in Valle d’Aosta: “Life in Valle d’Aosta is very communal, especially in the villages. People share the same places, from the bar to the store, they meet often. They have a tavern where they meet friends. It’s different in the city. “
Montagnani adds: “The infection started when the schools reopened. Three weeks after the first campaign there was a boom in positive cases, which is still not stopped now. The infection started with the children, who were not infected.” in class but on other occasions like on the bus, during parties or nightlife, while doing sports. And so the virus entered families ”. In the middle valley it is believed that one of the main foci was the party of the ‘recruits’, or the eighteen-year-old, which took place at the end of September between Verrayes, Chambave and Saint-Denis.
The proximity to France and Switzerland weighs on the high number of infections – observes Silvia Magnani, specialist in infectious diseases at the Parini hospital in Aosta – and then many people who are cared for in nursing homes where there are a high number of people hospitalized. The typical community life of the Alpine countries favors the spread of infections. Finally, it must be said that, in front of a few people who are in the field and work with enormous effort, there are many tampons and the more tampons you make, the more positive cases you find, especially among the asymptomatic ”.

In these areas, the Rt contagion rate was higher than the limits established by the legislation. The causes of the high spread of the virus would have been some “parties attended by many young people in the area.”
