Omicron variant, a suspected case in Campania: a person who has just returned from Africa in isolation

by time news

First suspected case of Omicron variant in Italy. A Campania citizen is in home isolation after testing positive for the molecular swab for Covid: upon returning to Italy from southern Africa, he was found positive for Covid and infected his family. The virus is being sequenced to ascertain whether it is actually the variante Omicron: “Taking into account the news of these days, all precautionary measures have been promptly adopted and the virus is being sequenced to verify its nature with certainty”, the governor of the Campania Region said in a note Vincenzo De Luca. At the moment he has mild symptoms and his family is also in quarantine with him, five other people: even all their contacts, the Region announced, have been placed in prudential isolation.

We need “maximum control by the police and municipal police” on compliance with the regional ordinance which prescribes the use of the mask in closed places and also outdoors where distance is not guaranteed, stressed De Luca. “This episode too – recalls the governor – invites us once again to complete the vaccination cycle and to have behaviors inspired by utmost caution, starting with the use of the mask which in Campania – it should be remembered – has always been mandatory in closed and outdoor places where spacing is not guaranteed “.
