Coronavirus: check on Niccolò

(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 15 - Niccolò, The 17-year-old from Grado who traveled by plane in isolation, protected inside a so-called "high biocontainment" structure before leaving the Pratica di Mare airport by ambulance will be subjected to further checks. Then his transfer to Spallanzani is foreseen for the quarantine. For Niccolò the same protocol was used with which a compatriot with a severe form of pulmonary tuberculosis resistant to any drug treatment was repatriated from Sierra Leone. It is a special stretcher protected by a PVC casing that allows observation and treatment of the patient in isolation (managed by a medical team) with powerful filters that prevent the passage of potentially infected cells. The isolation, always by protocol, will continue even during his imminent transfer to the hospital with a special ambulance.
