Coronavirus, first died in Italy. New infections from Lombardy to Veneto
Councilor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region: '250 people in isolation'
ANSA editorial staff 22 February 202000: 12
One of the two coronavirus positive patients died at the hospital in Padua. The governor Luca Zaia confirmed this to ANSA.
His name was Adriano Trevisan, 78, the Vo 'Euganeo man who died in the Veneto region due to coronavirus infection. Former owner of a small construction company, Trevisan had three children, one of whom, Vanessa, had been mayor of Vo '.
The man, already hospitalized for about ten days for previous pathologies, died this evening at the hospital of Schiavonia (Padua). "There was not even time to transfer it," said Governor Zaia.
Two months after the first case recorded in Wuhan, the coronavirus also explodes in Italy: 15 are the ones identified at the moment in Lombardy and one in Veneto while the seventeenth, a 78-year-old elderly man, did not make it: he died in the Schiavonia hospital, where he was hospitalized. But it is not over: hundreds of people have had direct contact with them and are waiting to know the results of the tests and more than 50 thousand citizens in the province of Lodi are, in fact, in quarantine at their home. "We keep the precautionary line very high - try to reassure Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte - You must trust us, we are taking all the necessary initiatives for the population, no social alarmism and no panic". But Matteo Salvini attacks: "Contagions increase, we must armor our borders". The situation is serious, also because the 'carrier' or the carriers of the virus have not yet been identified with certainty. That, therefore, could have infected other dozens of people in different parts of Italy. Instead, the 'index case' is known: a 38-year-old from Codogno who presented himself to the hospital on Tuesday 18 with flu symptoms but who, at the end of the visit, was sent home. The next day the man returned and this time he was hospitalized until Thursday evening, when tests gave the response: coronavirus positive. The isolation at the Sacco in Milan started immediately. But it was already late. In the previous days, the 38 year old has led everyday life, meeting dozens of people: he went to work, in the administration department of the Unilever of Casalpusterlengo, participated in two races - a half marathon in Santa Margherita Ligure on February 2 and one on the 9th with his team in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano - he played five-a-side football, he was at least three dinners and business meetings. How did you get the virus? At the moment the prevailing hypothesis is that he may have been infected during a dinner with his friend. The latter, an Italian who works for the 'Mae' of Fiorenzuola d'Arda, in the province of Piacenza, returned from China on 21 January. In early February, between 1 and 8, he accused of flu symptoms and in those days he met the 38 year old. However, the man tested negative, which can only mean two things: either he is not the carrier or he has had the virus, he has recovered and has developed antibodies. The results of the blood tests underway at Spallanzani will say so.
WHERE ARE WE AT THE CORONAVIRUS?
However, what is already certain is that the virus has spread to at least 14 other people since the age of 38: his wife, a teacher who is on maternity leave and only for this reason he has not had contact with students, a friend of his with whom he usually runs , 5 between doctors and health professionals and 3 patients from the Codogno hospital, 3 elderly people between 70 and 80 years of age who are customers of a bar run by the father of their runner friend and a fourteenth person of whom nothing is known, except that he is the general practitioner who visited the 38 year old. They are all in "serious" conditions, say the doctors. "Our son is very serious - confirm the 38-year-old's parents, in self quarantine at home - he is intubated, it is a painful thing, we are destroyed". The work that is being done now is to rebuild all the contacts these people had. Which are hundreds if not thousands. Just to be clear: only the 38-year-old had relationships with 120 Unilever colleagues, 70 between doctors and health personnel and 80 people who are part of his closest circle, starting from 40 on his running team. This is why the Region, in agreement with the Government, has been able to do nothing but trigger a series of "restrictive measures" in 10 municipalities, an area where 50 thousand people live. Casalpusterlengo, Codogno, Castiglione d'Adda, Fombio, Maleo, Somaglia, Bertonico, Terranova dei Passerini, Castelgerundo and Sanfiorano are in isolation. "The plan adopted provides strong choices" explains Health Minister Roberto Speranza, listing them: a 'mandatory' home stay and the suspension of any public event, of commercial, working, sporting and school activities. "We must keep the virus inside that area" says Speranza who then confirms the measures already taken: "fiduciary" quarantine obligation for those returning from China, and active surveillance for those who have been in risk areas, with an obligation to report to health authorities upon return to Italy. In addition, two Defense barracks are already ready in Milan and Piacenza with 180 places, to accommodate those who will have to go into quarantine. And it is not excluded, Commissioner Borrelli reiterated today, that hotels may also be requisite. But there is another front. That of the Veneto. Two elderly people from Vo 'Euganeo aged 78 and 67 tested positive in the first tests and were hospitalized in the Padua hospital. The 78-year-old, however, did not make it and died late in the evening. The two, Governor Zaia said, have never been to China and have had no contact with people who have returned from the Asian country. Also in this case it will be necessary to understand how they were infected. Finally, in Piacenza - where the prefecture decided to stop basketball, football and other sporting events scheduled for the weekend - a colleague of the Unilever employee, symptomatic, who had been hospitalized this morning in hospital, was negative.
