From a negligent pandemic point of view, this may mean that if the hospital À even a no-COVID one -does not provide for all these measures, and one or more cases of SARS-COV-2 positive patients are detected in the healthcare facility, a presumption of liability may be enough to pursuing a negligent pandemic crime (article 452, Italian penal code).	./cache/cord-306017-4wf4yhyz.txt	./txt/cord-306017-4wf4yhyz.txt
