So far, no coronavirus has been detected on the Italian island of Cilio.
However, the Associated Press reports that the island's only doctor, Armando Skiafino, is concerned about the coronavirus.
The fact that none of the island's 800 residents have been infected so far raises some questions: perhaps the locals are infected and have no symptoms? Or is the secret in the genetic code of the island's population the resistance to the virus? Maybe it just brought them luck.
Sciafino said that every time measles or chickenpox, a common disease among children, is observed, within a few days, almost everyone is infected with the disease. Surprisingly, this did not happen this time.
Although the virus was found in three foreigners who came to the island when the coronavirus first spread around the world, their contact with locals did not cause the virus to spread.
Despite the arrival of tourists from other parts of Italy after the abolition of quarantine in June, the coronavirus was still not detected in the local population.
