Coronavirus: lined up for a tampon, spits on sanitary ware

A doctor and a nurse were attacked last night in the Cotugno hospital in Naples by a person with feverish symptoms who was waiting to do the swab: impatient with waiting, the man went into hiding and, after removing his mask, he spit on a doctor and a nurse who were trying to restore him to calm. The two health workers were placed in quarantine and the room where the episode took place was evacuated and sanitized. Traces of man have been lost.
"I have lost a very good doctor and nurse - the general director of the Cotugno hospital in Naples Maurizio Di Mauro - who must now be in solitary confinement and cannot give, as they have made their precious contribution so far".
"Spitting on a person when you have, at a time like this, those symptoms and fever, is equivalent to shooting, there is no difference," he concluded.
