In these hours, three health workers (one nurse and two social health workers) and four patients hospitalized in the same rooms of the medical department of the Tione hospital tested positive for Covid-19 and were identified by applying the protocols in use in the hospital service provincial. All patients and operators of the ward were then subjected to molecular swabs and the ward was closed to external visitors. A specific sanitization of the environments and the contact points of the whole department was started. Pending the results of the screening swabs, no patients will be accepted from other APSS facilities and some patients in the hospital emergency room who need hospitalization may be admitted to other hospitals. The situation will be reassessed and updated in the light of the results of the swabs carried out. The first hospitalized patients who tested positive had not been vaccinated, while the others infected at least in part were.
