The highest authorities in the city – excluding the mayor – infected Covid-19: Bergamo coronavirus elongates the tentacles and it affects the institutions. Result: in the capital of the second province most infected of Italy, the chain of command, civil and military, which represents the State is responsible for security on the territory, is in quarantine. The first to make public the positive swab was the perfect Elizabeth Margiacchi: “Yes, it is true. But I am well, indeed very well. I have not even the fever: I tried it a little while ago: 36,5,” he said yesterday. The response of the test arrived Thursday afternoon. “I had some line of fever, a bit of a sore throat. I was thinking of a shot of cold. Then, in the prudence and sense of civic duty, I submitted to the buffer. And it is a positive result”.

Has been – has told the commissioner of the government – “a cold shower”. Where did he contract the virus it is impossible to reconstruct, “but work in the midst of the people, and still is a very bland”. Margiacchi, in spite of the infection (the same fate befell his colleague of Brescia, Attilio Visconti, ed.), continue and perform its functions. “Work, but not in the office. I’m in my accommodation, I divided from my co-workers a glass wall. I have to take all precautions in respect of people who work with me and that they are working twelve hours a day. The organizational machine has never stopped and I never stopped to give directives”. It is in the offices of the prefecture that, in the past few days, has been set up booth for emergency management coronavirus. And that is where the summits, attended by, among others, the head of police and the provincial commander of the carabinieri. Fatally, they are now both forced to work from home. Yesterday the chief Maurizio Auriemma, 60 years old, arrived a year ago from Agrigento, he was discovered to be infected.

the outcome of The buffer has arrived in the morning. Auriemma is asymptomatic: no fever, no cough or sore throat. The number one of the police working in isolation from home. The same thing is forced to make Paolo Storoni, provincial commander of the carabinieri. Not positive but, having had contact with the perfect and the questore (in recent days, the provincial committees for public safety have intensified since the peak of infection in bergamasca) is in quarantine. For the military regulation Storoni, already at the top of the Ros of Milan, has had to leave temporarily the functions of command to his deputy. But he also continues to follow closely the evolution of the coronavirus. In particular, in the belt suburban of suburbs to the north-east: the media valle Seriana in the next few hours – it only waits for the government – should become the second red zone of Lombardy.

With its 623 cases (86 compared to Thursday), the province of Bergamo is the second most affected after Lodi. Yesterday it was reported that cases of infection and deaths have occurred in bergamo, even before the explosion of the emergency in the region (but the pads were made 8 days after). The latest victim of the coronavirus is the former mayor of Brignano Gera d’adda, Valerio Moro, 66 years, died Thursday at the Niguarda hospital in Milan where he was hospitalized for a long time. In recent days, the first citizen of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, he had shown cautious optimism, urging the people to go out and do shopping (using public transport): “Bergamo will not stop”, was the slogan launched in a video of encouragement. Then the situation is complicated. More in the province than in the city, where the people will go out a little and the venues are half-empty. “Positive 0.02% of the population: we are from bergamo, tough people. We trust in our healthcare system. We will return stronger than before.”
