Party among health workers, outbreak in Valtellina hospital

19 different doctors and nurses tested positive for Covid, but not all, from the Morelli hospital in Sondalo (Sondrio) who, about ten days ago, attended a party among colleagues. The health management, after the discovery of the outbreak, ordered the immediate closure of the Medicine ward, where the infected health personnel work, arranging for the transfer of patients hospitalized in other hospitals in Valtellina and no longer accepting admissions in that now closed ward. On the matter, which emerged in the last few hours, the leaders of Asst Valtellina and Alto Lario immediately intervened to apply the anti-Covid protocols, such as sanitizing the environments and tracking. "What happened - said Giuseppina Ardemagni, health director - must serve as a warning about the behaviors that each of us must keep. We need the utmost attention because everyone, no one excluded in their work environments, can be infected, even health professionals ". (HANDLE).
