Doctor Cecilia Bartalena takes a selfie as she eats a meal at home in a separate area to her husband Lorenzo Marianelli, 37, and daughter Petra, 4, in Pisa. The fear that she might infect someone else despite precautions such as sleeping in separate rooms, using separate bathrooms and eating in separate areas of the kitchen, follows her like a dark shadow. "I feel dirty and so I am not comfortable dealing with people. If I meet someone on the street I am afraid. If I meet a neighbour while going down the stairs, I run away," she said. "When I come home from the hospital I take a shower but I don't feel (clean), it never seems enough to me," she said.
