“I am positive and without medicines. I only ask to be able to return to my country to be treated”. These are hours of anguish for the 47-year-old from Rimini who is in quarantine, in a hotel in Istanbul, after testing positive for the coronavirus. On Saturday, the Rimini’s sister, having no more news of her brother, turned to the lawyers Marco Bosco and Thomas Coppola of the Coppola & partners firm to ask for help from the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella and the foreign minister, Luigi Di Maio. “To date, and therefore after days, the family members have not had any informative contact about the state of health of their relative”, the lawyers wrote in their certified email, who at the Farnesina formalized a request for “health care and coordination with foreign authorities in order to treat the citizen according to the protocols of the Italian state and assistance in the procedures for returning to the Italian state “.
The rider from Rimini left for Turkey last week to undergo surgery. Before getting on the plane, destination Istanbul, he had undergone a molecular test in Rimini and tested negative for the coronavirus.
Everything seemed normal, so much so that in Turkey he had managed to carry out the operation, as planned. But, at the time of discharge from the clinic, he had made another swab whose outcome was positive: the Rimini-born, in fact, had come into contact with the coronavirus. So he had set the exam. He was, therefore, immediately sent to the hotel, in quarantine. Here, according to what was reported by his sister’s lawyers, the Rimini man would be confined, in quarantine, in a hotel room, but without adequate health care. So after countless calls to the Italian embassy in Istanbul without obtaining a satisfactory response, the woman turned to the lawyers of the Coppola & partners firm who asked for the intervention of the Farnesina to guarantee the Rimini “health care according to the state protocol Italian and necessary at this time of the Covid 19 pandemic.
On Saturday evening, the woman would have been able to contact her brother who would be in solitary confinement, but left without medicines and, apparently, even without food, in the Istanbul hotel.
“Help me bring him back here to Rimini”, the desperate appeal of the Rimini woman.
