The Italian government rushes to stick to another 3,000 people who frequented the Billionaire nightclub in Sardinia after many revelers left false coordinates.
The club’s owner, Flavio Briatore, entered the hospital with a coronavirus, and 60 workers tested positive for Covid-19. Now the Italian government is looking to locate the other participants in the club’s “dinners”.
All visitors were to give their names and phone numbers for such events, however, many fake numbers came out of The Italian newspapers. This has hampered efforts aimed at potentially inflamed people.
Social media has provoked more anger: Instagram videos show that the billionaire’s occasions were actually just clubs like the old days before Covid. In one, bottle trains pass through crowds full of people, with only a face mask. Others show the mask worn by one or two visitors, while others dance to high EDM music.
“I am horrified that the billionaire has obtained false figures and information,” Pierpaolo Sileri, deputy fitness minister, told Radio Cusano Pierpaolo Sileri.
Briatore, who in the past controlled the Renault Formula One team and chaired queens Park Rangers Football Club, denies that there was a foul at the club. “In Billionaire, we have followed the rules,” he told La Stampa at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, where he is being treated for a coronavirus.
The multimillion-dollar outbreak originated in some other on the island of Sardinia on 15 August in Porto Rotondo. Since then, the virus has been ravaging this rich enclave.
Employees of club Sottovento in Porto Cervo tested positive for Covid-19 and its owner, Johnny Micalusi, was hospitalized.
The Porto Cervo Yacht Club, which will host the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and Rolex Swan Cup, has cancelled all regattas in September.
The Italian government is now concerned that these yachts will spread the virus further unless the genuine names and number of visitors to the billionaires are collected.
Marcello Acciaro, of Sardinia’s viral crisis committee, told the Times: “Those who share the Emerald Coast have a habit of going from place to place, all over the world.”
Knowledge of maritime traffic shows the waters of the northeastern coast of Sardinia occupied through superyachts that sail between Porto Cervo and the ports of France and the Italian continent.
A billionaire known for being provided is former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Two weeks before his positive coronavirus checkup, Briatore filmed Berlusconi on the Costa Smeralda. In the video, neither mask nor practice of social estrangement.
In Italy, Briatore is known as a coronavirus skeptic and uses Instagram to express his frustration with the Italian government. In one article he said: “In the last 3 weeks they have published a series of figures that have no evidence!! The coronavirus is the life insurance of this government. ArrayArray Let’s work!!”
