READ MORE: The Italian city of Bergamo was hard-hit by coronavirus and became the country’s center for the disease. Now that there are signs infections are slowing there, observers are realizing what went wrong.
The head of the city’s doctors association, Guido Marinoni, says that back in January, pneumonia cases were not recognized as the novel coronavirus.
He says doctors in the northern Italian city did not have adequate protective gear and were not being tested despite showing light symptoms. Areas that should have been locked down, he added, were not, and that augmented the spread of the virus.
Marinoni says testing of doctors only started last week and many still don’t have necessary protective gear.
