Woman who isolated virus to get job

(ANSA) - Campobasso, February 13 - Francesca Colavita, one of three women researchers who isolated the coronavirus at Rome's Spallanzani Hospital, is to be hired on a full-time contract after years in precarious employment, sources said Thursday.
    The other two women, Rosaria Capobianchi and Concetta Castilletti, already have full-time permanent contracts at the Rome infectious-disease hospital.
    The Spallanzani is treating a couple of Chinese tourists and a young Italian man who have the virus.
