Today there were 7 positive cases at Covid-19 between Anzio and Ardea. This is the data communicated by the Crisis Unit of the Lazio Region. All cases are “referable to a family cluster already known for two other cases that can be considered limited to the narrow family environment”. Epidemiological investigation and concact tracing are ongoing.
“An elderly man went to the hospital, healthy, for a simple operation. After his resignation he returned home with the Covid-19, and without knowing it, he in turn infected all the family members – declares the mayor of Ardea, Mario Savarese – Fortunately it seems that the contacts have been restricted to the family circle. None of the infected are found to be citizens of Ardea even if the cases have been registered on the border with Anzio. A very meager consolation! As if one should rejoice because the patient is in charge of a other administration. Instead I am worried, and a lot. This monster has not yet been defeated. Today I crossed the entire coast to observe the situation on the beaches: if I didn’t know what we went through, judging from what I saw, it seems that pandemic was never a reality. People forget quickly, too quickly and that’s why I’ll be on the alert. “
In Fiumicino, the positive cases remain at 9. Of the 400 swabs performed yesterday at the drive in Casal Bernocchi, 8 were positive, they are 2 owners of a local, 2 employees and 4 cohabitants of the Bangladeshi patient hospitalized at Spallanzani. After the closure of the Indispensa Bistrot, due to the owner’s positivity, the ASL Roma 3 also ordered the closure of the Spuma kiosk on the Salute promenade yesterday.
“There are over 1100 swabs performed to date by the drive in Casal Bernocchi – declares the mayor Esterino Montino – on people connected to the case of the employee of the Fiumicino bistro who tested positive for coronavirus. For a few hours, between this night and this morning, It is thought that the number could rise to 10 because on the first test performed on two people, the device that analyzes them had given a possible positive result. At that point, as per protocol, the two people, other members of the Indispensa staff, are were subjected to two additional test swabs for each. Both of these new tests failed. ” “The drive-in at Casal Bernocchi has been working continuously for 48 hours, night and day – the mayor underlines -. There were 32 cars lined up for the tampon at 5 this morning. A very serious, capillary and tireless job for who I would like to thank, on behalf of the whole city, the operators and operators of Asl RM3, the extraordinary commissioner Dr. Quintavalle and the health director Dr. Amato “.
“The emergency situation and the risks of these days – adds Mario Baccini, municipal councilor of Fiumicino – create concern. There are still too many contagion opportunities that we are witnessing, also due to a carelessness of some citizens perhaps too confident or not inclined to respect the distancing and the rules imposed by the Higher Institute of Health. Of one thing I am sure, however, we must neither want to criminalize anyone but a new socio-economic crisis for the effects of contagion we cannot afford it. We ask the citizens of Fiumicino for more responsibility in respecting the anti-contagion guidelines; but above all we ask for more responsibility on the part of the municipal administration in ensuring that this happens. Compliance with the rules and protocols must be strictly applied and the controls of the competent authorities must be inflexible and above all indiscriminate. The city must continue to live and get used to living with covid19. If the Municipality wants to be at the side of families and operators, it will have to avoid discharging its responsibilities and coordinate the controls provided for in the anti – covid 19 protocols more clearly without any distinction “.
Asl RM3, meanwhile, continuing the checks and, given the large influx of people, has decided to keep the Casal Bernocchi drive-in open until 20 for the following days. A little more than a thousand swabs were made at the drive-in, enhanced with the contribution of the USCA-R mobile units. The epidemiological investigation will also be extended to the Bangladesh Embassy in Rome where the employee now hospitalized at Spallanzani went for administrative reasons on 22 June.
