Italian delegation triples cases in India. In the hospital, they are all well

the BANGKOK – travel in India, exotic Rajasthan, with stops at the monument of love Agra and the pink city of Jaipur, had been prepared for a long time, when Italy still seemed to be immune from the coronavirus. The 21 members of the group of italians, largely assembled by a tourist agency of Sant'angelo Lodigiano, not knowing that their collective contagion would have more than tripled the number of cases acclarati in the whole of India, which were up to that time only 5. The first member of the group to get sick – and possibly infect others – was a doctor 60enne who was traveling with his wife, both residents of Codogno, to the epicenter of the diffusion of the virus. The first serious signs were manifested several days after the beginning of the tour, after all, have been in close contact with their “patient zero”, except for having contracted the virus earlier in their cities of origin. Together they ate on the same table and visited the same places as those in cars and minibuses driven by drivers local, one of whom has been hospitalized after testing positive.

The 28th of February and the pair of Codogno, still joined the rest of the group, was in Jaipur when they began the breathing problems of the doctor and both were taken to the controls in a city hospital, where Sunday was observed after three sets of swabs for the presence of the virus, with little scope for doubt for the wife. At that point, the other 19 italians in the group had already transferred to New Delhi for the final leg and the return in Italy. But with the result of the examinations on the medical doctor, the indian authorities have given the order to put a stop to our fellow countrymen at the international airport in the capital to examine all the in a healthcare facility, a military Chhawla, not far from the capital. A large part has been infected, 15 of 19 were positive to the test, in addition to their driver indian.

on a positive note, that would be all well, and that the same conditions of the medical Codogno are improved, while the four results immune may fall short in Italy. But the difficulty will now track down all the indians that have been in contact with them and prevent the spread of the virus in a Country as highly populated as to make difficult the adaptation of the health facilities, recent outbreaks, despite the efforts ongoing in many states and the rise of pads and beds available.

Also one of the indian patients already admitted previously in the State of Haryana, near Delhi, was just returned from Italy, and the immigration authority have forbidden to issue visas to the citizens from our Country and from other regions at risk. But to worry about the India, in addition to the italians, another outbreak started with the infection of an employee of a company scientific industrial hub Hyderabad in Telangana, where 33 of its 88 colleagues and co-workers are under observation with the symptoms of the coronavirus.
