New cases in Lazio rise from 12 to 13, 5 of which in Rome. Three of the infections are imported from Bangladesh and have required the activation of international contact tracing. The case of the Bengali employee of a restaurant in Fiumicino raises some concerns. The catering business was interrupted and an epidemiological investigation had to be started on customers, as well as on other operators. And it is precisely the different outbreaks of the last few weeks that have maintained the Lazio contagiousness index, the R with t, above the safety threshold of one (one infected for each positive).
Of 1,684 tests carried out today in Puglia as well as yesterday, only one case tested positive for coronavirus: it is a resident in the province of Lecce. However, there are no deaths. Basilicata, where there are only five people currently coronavirus positive – confirms itself to be a “zero infection” region: for the fifteenth consecutive day, in fact, there are no new cases. According to the regional task force, 429 swabs were analyzed yesterday, all negative.

Meanwhile, new studies reveal Covid’s multi-symptomatology. Not only pneumonia: in 3 out of 4 patients the new coronavirus can in fact also trigger neurological symptoms, ranging from headache to encephalopathy. This is demonstrated by a survey conducted among European frontline doctors against the pandemic. The results are published in the European Journal of Neurology by the Neurological III Clinic of the San Paolo – Asst Santi Paolo e Carlo Hospital and by the Aldo Ravelli Research Center of the State University of Milan, in collaboration with the main European neurological centers. The survey was conducted through online questionnaires, consisting of 17 questions and distributed to European doctors involved in tackling the pandemic. More than 2,300 questionnaires were collected that reported the presence of neurological symptoms in about three quarters of patients. The main ailments encountered ranged from headache and myalgias to encephalopathy. “The mechanisms responsible for neurological involvement are manifold”, explains Alberto Priori, director of the Neurological III Clinic of the San Paolo Hospital and professor at the University of Milan. The disturbances can arise due to the spread of the virus in the nervous tissue, “as demonstrated right here at the San Paolo University Center, where for the first time the virus and tissue damage related to the infection was identified with the electron microscope. There are also indirect mechanisms, such as the important activation of blood clotting, which can lead to stroke. The importance of the study – continues Priori – is that at European level it has been shown that neurological symptoms are frequently found “. The late neurological complications of the infection will also have to be assessed, since in many of the more serious patients then healed there are neurological alterations that require close monitoring and a complex rehabilitation path that can be very long.
