Along with all his fellow citizens, the mayor of Benevento Clemente Mastella was also queuing up for the first day of screening.
“With a little fear,” the mayor inaugurates the first day of mass screening for the Sannio capital, in which about 3000 nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed to flush out any positive cases of coronavirus. Several 'drive-in' stations have been set up in the square in front of the Ciro Vigorito stadium in the Santa Colomba area.
Pre-established routes for cars that must queue to reach the gazebos, where staff from the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Southern Naples carry out the swabs very quickly, which will then be processed by the laboratories of the same institute, the Cotugno hospital in Naples and the San Pio in Benevento.
“It is a procedure that must be done for oneself,” the mayor adds, “but also for others, for family members, for all the people you meet. It serves as a barrier, because the virus is not dead and we are trying to protect ourselves from these viral earthquakes.” Mastella also defends the ordinance issued yesterday on the obligation to display a sort of “Covid free” sticker in commercial establishments that sell food. “It is a sacrifice that we ask of traders, as it would also be useful for other categories,” he specifies, “to safeguard customers and the people who work”
