Omicron variant, ‘patient zero’ healed

The Caserta professional who was the first in Italy to test positive for the Omicron variant of the virus is cured of Covid-19. “I am pleased to inform you that after 21 days we have defeated Covid, thanks to all of you for being so kind to us”, wrote the Eni manager, in a public post on his Facebook profile. Together with the man, his wife and two children, the mother, the mother-in-law and a woman who works in the family as a caregiver tested positive for the Omicron variant for a total of 7 confirmed Omicron cases in Campania. The case had emerged on November 27, when the sequencing of the swab carried out on the man returned from Mozambique had revealed the positivity to the Omicron variant. The conditions of the manager and family members have always been good and hospitalization was not necessary.
