Coda, in Genoa, at the vaccination center of the Youth Theater, run by private individuals. At least three hundred people in the queue, including the elderly, in the rain and in the cold have waited hours for their turn on the street, without due distancing. The inconveniences began around 5pm. The queue, in a short time, came to invade part of the carriageway, creating inconvenience to the traffic. The carabinieri arrived on the spot.
“We had an important number of people who went to the hub after the closing of the holidays – explains Daniele Pallavicini of Confcommercio Salute, coordinator of the hub for private companies that manage it on behalf of the Region, speaking to Genoa24 –. There is also the worry of not arriving on time which prompts many to queue before the due time. We also sanitize clinics with a certain regularity because more and more people, not knowing they are positive, arrive and then indicate in the anamnestic form that they have had contact with Covid cases.
This leads to delays “.
Groped to calm down the security officers who advised those present to “go for a ride” and come back later, given the delay of over 60 minutes on the schedule.
The hub is able to manage up to 2,500 patients in a 12-hour day “We will run out even after 20.00 to vaccinate all those booked,” says Pallavicini.
