July 13, 2020 "In the four patients" returning from Serbia "subjected to the swab, the viral load was very high". This was stated by the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, during a press point called in Marghera (Venice) to take stock of the situation on the Coronavirus emergency. "Without saying anything to anyone, I had the Serbian virus sequenced" found on the entrepreneur from Vicenza who brought the virus here after a business trip, on his two colleagues and a Chinese woman from Padua. "The result is that the virus is migratory, not native, and is more aggressive - Zaia underlined -. It has mutations, having grown in a foreign cluster, which follow its history".Veneto stable, cases brought from outside concern
In Veneto "we are in a phase of stability, of domestic contexts that we are not worried about. We are worried about viruses brought from outside," he said. Zaia cites "Moldovan carers, relatives from Australia and Congo". Then he adds: "It also highlights the lowering of age, partly because the elderly have made themselves safe, partly because some gatherings are now being done".
Rapid test presented, result in 7 minutes
Finally, during the press point, a rapid swab for the coronavirus test was presented which would give reliable results in 7 minutes. "The swab is still the only diagnostic modality - he said - but in the face of a pandemic it was inevitable that everyone was looking for something faster and more practical. We have now tested a thousand swabs from Korea in duplicate (quick and traditional) and we have detected a single mistake of a false positive - explained the governor - in 7 minutes we have the result. We go from the cart with horses to Ferrari ". The Veneto Region will now collect data from at least a hundred positive cases to request the Ministry to insert the test in diagnostics. The use of, for example, rapid tests in first aid access is not excluded.
