There are reports Brescia President Massimo Cellino has recovered from COVID-19, without realising he had ever contracted the virus.
The vast ramping up of testing in recent days, particularly in the Lombardy region, has found a significant number of people who show antibodies – meaning they had and recovered from the coronavirus – without ever displaying symptoms.
This is one of the reasons why social distancing is so important, as many can be positive for COVID-19 and infect others without even realising they have it.
There are reports Brescia President Massimo Cellino has recovered from COVID-19, without realising he had ever contracted the virus.
The vast ramping up of testing in recent days, particularly in the Lombardy region, has found a significant number of people who show antibodies – meaning they had and recovered from the coronavirus – without ever displaying symptoms.
This is one of the reasons why social distancing is so important, as many can be positive for COVID-19 and infect others without even realising they have it.
According to Sardegna 1, one of those people was Cellino, whose swap showed him to be negative, but a blood test found antibodies pointing to the virus having been in his system at some point.
Cellino had no symptoms, although Brescia did close down their HQ towards the end of March after two members of staff tested positive.
The patron had said only this week that he was “afraid to even go into the garden” because of the highly-contagious disease, but if the report is confirmed, then he had already been infected and made a full recovery.
