“They promise you that they will trace the contacts of the sick. Bales. They tell you what they will use Immune: science fiction. They tell you that they will follow you while you are sick at home: wait and hope ». Thus begins the long post, published on Facebook, by Weather in Ferruccio Sansa, Ligurian journalist and politician (candidate for the presidency of the Liguria Region but defeated by Giovanni Toti) who for days declares to be living a real nightmare. The son, aged 15, tested positive for the last Monday Coronavirus: he has a fever but no one – according to his account – would have provided for the contact tracing. They would only ask him the name of the school, ignoring instead the football, the gym or the scouts that the boy has been attending for some time.
“Immune? We don’t know what to do with it “
When his parents asked the ASL if they could communicate Immuni’s data, since they have always used it, they were told: «Immune? We don’t know what to do with it ». From that moment on, something surreal happened: everyone “disappeared” with the ASL which, for days, would no longer answer the phone. What to do now? Who to contact? Meanwhile, to complicate the situation even more, are the health conditions of both the journalist and his wife. Although he tested negative on a first swab, he has a fever of 38, broken bones, no longer smells and breathes badly: all symptoms compatible with Covid-19. The wife, on the other hand, has a fever, feels exhaustion and has zero sense of smell. Do you have the virus? Impossible to know: still no result of the first swab.
“Hundreds of people left in our own solitude”
«It is comforting to know that hundreds of other people in Liguria today are in the same situation as us. In the same solitude. People who are not footballers and cannot swab thousands every weekend. People who are not called Trump, Berlusconi or Briatore ”Sansa concludes.
The response of the ASL
“The taking in charge of the suspect or positive COVID citizen by the ASL – in order to make the diagnostic therapeutic action effective – takes place through two different reporting methods”, explains the ASL of competence in a note: “notification by of a public or private positive laboratory or through the family doctor or pediatrician of free choice through the Poliss portal in the event that the doctor believes that the patient, although not requiring hospitalization, cannot be followed by him directly for well-considered reasons “.
According to the Local Health Authority, in the case of the Ligurian councilor Sansa “it appears that all the procedures provided for by the COVID 19 protocols have been completed which provide for the taking in charge of the person who tested positive for the swab, the interview of the case to collect information on the clinical history and any further close contacts of the case “. With the verification of the positive case «the close contacts were put under active surveillance by programming the two verification buffers, of which the first has already been performed. To date, no further requests from the family doctor have been received by the Prevention Department or the Offices of the Social and Health Management ». The ASL promises to get in touch with the Sansa family doctor “to verify any need for support, still not expressed, in the management of patients who at present we know are directly followed, as also mentioned in the note”.
