Coronavirus dies 72 years old at San Paolo in Savona: it is the first Ligurian case of infection
by Marco Innocenti
The man had not had contact with known clusters nor was he from 'red areas'
Third death of a patient tested positive for coronavirus in Liguria. The man, a 72-year-old pensioner, was hospitalized at the San Paolo hospital in Savona. As reported by ASL2, the patient had an already compromised clinical picture that had also been diagnosed with the infection. All the normal operating procedures of the case have been activated.
In a note, the Liguria Region says that the man arrived in self-presentation a few days ago from Andora to the point of first intervention of the Albenga hospital, sent by the general practitioner. He had respiratory problems. His condition worsened and he was therefore transferred to the San Paolo hospital in Savona, in the intensive care unit. Since it did not respond to normal therapies and manifested a critical clinical picture of which the origin was not understood, according to the Ligurian protocols of utmost prudence for public health, an investigation was also carried out to verify the positivity to coronavirus. The positive test result came after the patient's death. It is not known, so far, that he had contacts with the Savonese 'cluster' nor did he come from 'red areas'.
The patient's family members were placed under active surveillance. The analysis of the patient's pathways made it possible to identify the possible and hypothetical situations of exposure to infection in only five units of healthcare personnel: the 5 employees were placed under active surveillance. All the other operators operated without risk of exposure to the infection, because the patient, for his clinical picture, remained protected with an absolute filtering respiratory mask.
At the end of the meeting in Rome with Prime Minister Conte and the other governors of the region, President Toti also spoke, live on Facebook. "It is possible that the patient who died at the San Paolo hospital in Savona - Toti said - contracted the coronavirus long before the 'Alassio' case broke out, therefore that he had contact with Lombard tourists, but we do not yet know the cause of the We will certainly find out. To trace a new chain and isolate the possible new outbreak, which could go out here or have some train ".
