The results of the tests on the germ found on three premature newborns who tested positive in screening in the neonatal department of the Borgo Trento hospital in Verona are expected today. The newborns did not develop potentially fatal pathologies, but the episode closely resembles what happened four years ago when the facility was closed for 4 months for the remediation of citrobacter, a bacterium that led to the death of four children and disabled another six.
The neonatal intensive care unit was closed as a precaution with an emergency measure on Saturday evening, as reported by the Verona Arena.
