Covid, Asl Caserta: the Rocca d'Evandro cluster under control
The “situation is absolutely under control” in Rocca d'Evandro, a small town in the Alto-Casertano area dealing with two outbreaks of Covid, the most recent linked to the funeral wake of an elderly woman on December 27, the first relating to a private retirement home. This is assured by the ASL of Caserta, whose data on the trend of the epidemiological curve seem to be reassuring for the town of just over three thousand souls: there are no new positives in the town, nor among the 76 positives that have emerged in recent days are there any cases of people with significant symptoms; almost everyone is well, and today there was also a recovery.
The daily report of the ASL of Caserta speaks of 59 current positives in Rocca d'Evandro; the discrepancy with the data of 76 infected, is explained by the mayor Emilia Delli Colli, who today issued a note to clarify the numbers, giving voice to the disorientation of a community that has ended up at the center of attention of the mass media world. "In the current positives (76) - explains the mayor - 27 people are reported who are not residents in our municipality who, for personal needs, are respecting the home quarantine in our municipality".
The data of the two clusters confirmed by the ASL remains: in the private RSA, in addition to the 21 positive guests - almost all asymptomatic - there are two other positive health workers, but these are people resident in municipalities of Lower Lazio, in particular the province of Frosinone. The second cluster, linked to the funeral wake of December 27, is not spreading, a fact that gives hope for the coming days. Meanwhile, at the provincial level, the numbers continue to be negative in terms of victims: 10 people have died from Covid in the last 24 hours (79 in the last week with a daily average of more than seven deaths), 456 since the beginning of the pandemic. Things are better in terms of new daily positives, which are 110 out of 709 swabs, with a contagion index that is however rising to 11%; 231 people have recovered in the last 24 hours, for a total of currently positive people of 4247 (131 fewer than yesterday).
