Covid, in Monteverde outbreak linked to the Italy match seen in a pub- Corriere.it

From the Italy game seen together in a pub, the Clifton in via del Casaletto in Rome, to the surge in Covid cases throughout the Monteverde district. In the ASL Roma 3 the confirmed cases have risen to 91, after the first 16 linked to the cluster that broke out after the European Championship match. But the infections in the area are destined to increase, people close to the patrons of the pub who are waiting for the response of the tampon. The age range varies in the new cases: from 14 to 60 years, but almost all are male and under 25, the perfect identikit of the Italian fans who met at Clifton. The focus now is on monitoring other possible outbreaks as well. One of these was identified among the frequenters of a bar in Ostia: already 16 touched by the virus.

In fact, other cases are expected related to the celebrations for the victories of the national team: the gigantic gathering created throughout the center on the occasion of the Azzurri’s bus catwalk is worrying. It is estimated that several tens of thousands of people, mostly young people, of whom many unvaccinated have come into close contact. As the images of those hours testify, many of them were also without masks. The councilor for health of the Lazio Region Alessio D’Amato expressed strong concerns almost immediately: An increase in infections in the coming weeks is inevitable. We will pay the bill for the celebrations for the Azzurri. Today it is important to get vaccinated, we must reach 70% in the first week of August and in the following weeks 80% of the population over 12 vaccinated.
