July 16, 2020 Forty-two African-born migrants visiting the Red Cross headquarters in Jesolo tested positive for Coronavirus. In addition to them also an operator of the structure, for a total of 43 infected.

This was what was announced in a press conference by the Municipality of Jesolo and the top management of the USL 4. The Red Cross will take care of the supervision of guests in the center, and with its own means will transfer the positives to other protected structures. The mayor of the city asked and obtained from the police headquarters a stable garrison of law enforcement outside the headquarters.

The Red Cross of the Veneto Region has guaranteed maximum control, thanks also to an increase of 11 operators sent from the national headquarters, in addition to the availability of means to transfer the positive cases to other structures: "In the next 14 days - they say - our task will be to guarantee their permanence in the structure ". The headquarters of the CRI in Jesolo currently hosts over a hundred asylum seekers of African origin.

"The situation is under control and must be constantly monitored - explained the mayor Zoggia - not so much for the infected people who will leave this city in the day, but for those who remain in the structure, so that it cannot move freely during the period of isolation. I have signed an order imposing an obligation on the Red Cross to monitor this. " There is also a fixed presence of law enforcement outside the same structure.    


"All this was born from the need to subject an immigrant guest of the facility to an orthopedic surgery - explained the director of Ulss4, Carlo Bramezza and the director of the prevention department Luigi Nicolardi - as per protocol it was subjected to the pad that highlighted the contagion and as soon as possible another 142 swabs were carried out which brought to light a total of 43 asymptomatic positivity. All positive subjects will be transferred already in the day to protected structures while the other negative ones, 85, remain in isolation in the Jesolo headquarters of the Red Cross: in 7 days they will undergo another swab and after another 7 days they will carry out a third swab ".
