"We should never forget this. We cannot assume that something very bad will not happen," Persichilli said.
"Because you were always on guard in intensive care, you always knew something could go right or go wrong, and it really helped me grasp that things could change very rapidly," she said.Never taking anything for granted, Persichilli and the health department, under her leadership, immediately began thinking about the worst-case scenario after just hearing about a strange health crisis in China in 2019, thousands of miles away.
