Coronavirus, no infection in Ferrera Erbognone: analyzes begin
[FONT=main-condensed_regular]The country, in the province of Pavia, has a thousand inhabitants and nobody tested positive for Covid-19. Thus, the investigation into the immune system of the residents starts at the Mondino Institute[/FONT]
It is one of the few municipalities in the province of Pavia that has not registered coronavirus infections. Ferrera Erbognone, a thousand inhabitants, a town in the heart of Lomellina, seems immune to Covid-19, so it has become a scientific case and will be the subject of an investigation conducted by the Mondino Institute of Pavia, as soon as the green light arrives from the Region. After the approval of the council resolution, the mayor Giovanni Fassina had a notice distributed to all the families in the country. Until April 2, it will be possible to book for blood tests in a laboratory of the nearby Municipality of Sannazzaro de 'Burgundi. The withdrawal will be free and voluntary. Citizens who cannot go to Sannazzaro de 'Burgundi will have the opportunity to take the blood chemistry exam at home.
The investigation aims to clarify whether antibodies capable of contrasting coronavirus are present in the inhabitants of Ferrera Erbognone . The hypothesis is that there is something in the immune system of this small population that may explain why no one has been affected, perhaps providing a key to finding something that will help stop the pandemic.
