"No vax? We have never been. ' The father of the three-month-old child positive for Covid speaks who, on Monday, was transported by ambulance to the Binaghi hospital in Cagliari for a series of investigations. The newborn and his mother, also positive, returned in the evening to Osini, the town where they live with their other four children. An outbreak has developed in the center at the foot of the Tacchi which now involves a dozen people, including some children. While the tracing of contacts continues in the village, with a slew of tampons scheduled for today, the case has aroused the indignation of the child's parents. The father speaks behind the guarantee of anonymity, a must to protect the privacy of the younger son, and ensures that neither he nor his wife are lined up against the ongoing vaccination campaign to combat the virus.

The witness

Mom and dad are not no vax. In fact, there is no certificate that can demonstrate intolerance to the antidote against Covid. The parent claims to have always approved the paths of science to protect health. “We are not no vax people, on the contrary. All our children have always been vaccinated against all kinds of diseases, from the first to the last. What's more: two of our children were booked for Thursday to undergo the Covid vaccine. Where then is the label of no vax? ». He and his wife have not yet been vaccinated and in recent days they tested positive: "It's true, we took time, but certainly not because we are against vaccination: it's nonsense."

Then he recounts the delicate day he lived on Monday, when the little boy was taken to Cagliari for checks: "The child went to the Binaghi hospital, was subjected to a check-up, was not hospitalized and the health personnel discharged him immediately and they went home with their mother in the evening. Now his conditions are good ».

The outbreak

In line with the protocol, once the first case has been ascertained, the public hygiene of the Lanusei ASL has started tracing the contacts. Four days after having intercepted patient one in the village, there are about ten pupils in quarantine who attend middle school in another center. On the minibus that took them to school, they came into contact with a boy who tested positive. The students - who had negative results in the next swab test - were subjected to home isolation and traveled to the seat next to the one occupied by the positive boy and those sitting on the front row and the two rear ones.
