Conte, first two coronavirus cases confirmed in Italy

These are two Chinese tourists traveling to Rome. They are hospitalized in Spallanzani. Conte: 'There is no cause for panic and alarm.' Their hotel room has been sealed

Coronavirus is an alarm in Italy. Two cases have been identified  in Rome. "The two confirmed cases are two Chinese tourists who have come to our country, the first two confirmed cases of Coronavirus." So the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte at a press conference at Palazzo Chigi. "We are vigilant and very careful: we have not been caught unprepared," said the prime minister. Air traffic to and from China has been closed, the Prime Minister said.

" Spallanzani is the Bible in this area. There is no reason to create panic and social alarm ."  "Careful checks are underway to reconstruct the route" of the two Chinese tourists, the first ascertained cases of Coronavirus in Italy, "to isolate their passageways, to avoid absolutely any further risk compared to that already established". So the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi with the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.

"The onset of Coronavirus cases in Italy is" a fairly normal fact if we think of statistics, since there are already ten cases in Europe. It was quite probable, our scientists had said so for a long time ". Health Minister Roberto Speranza says at Palazzo Chigi." The situation is serious but there is no need to alarm, the situation is totally under control "the minister explains.

" I am confident that the situation will remain confined," said the premier. "Minister Speranza has already adopted an ordinance that closes air traffic to and from China. We are the first EU country to adopt such a precautionary measure." 

The two Chinese tourists, the first ascertained cases of Coronavirus in Italy, are "hospitalized in isolation, are in good condition, it makes us think that there are no people exposed". The scientific director of Spallanzani of Rome Giuseppe Ippolito said during a press conference at Palazzo Chigi assuring that "at the moment there seems to be no risk" of outbreaks.

The hotel room in the center of Rome where the Chinese couple now hospitalized in the Spallanzani hospital had stayed in the last few days. The couple of tourists rescued yesterday at the hotel in via Cavour had been in Italy for about 10 days. The room where the husband and wife were staying was sealed to allow ASL to carry out decontamination. Health surveillance has already been activated on people who came into contact with the couple hospitalized at the national institute of infectious diseases Spallanzani. All the measures foreseen by the protocols have been taken both for some people of the hotel and for the other members of the group of tourists. At the moment they are all asymptomatic and do not cause concern"The Lazio Region Health Department communicates in a note.
