Covid today Italy, Garattini alarm: “Stadiums and aperitifs a risk”

“Everyone thinks it’s over and they pretend nothing has happened, nightlife, hugs and people around without a mask” “We are still inside the tunnel” of Covid-19, “but we’re not realizing it. Everyone thinks it’s over, but we were at a thousand infections a day and now we are at 6 thousand, and there are always a lot of deaths. I’m worried because I don’t see the attention that should be on the part of the population “. Faced with a pandemic still in progress, too many are ignoring anything according to Silvio Garattini, founder and president of the Mario Negri Institute of Pharmacological Research, guest of ‘A sheep’s day’ on Rai Radio1. The scientist warns against the dangers of a generalized loss of attention: “People go around without a mask – he observes – there is the nightlife and then the stadiums, which are dangerous because there is shouting and embracing, in the midst of a strong crowding “. Can you get infected at the stadium? “Of course yes – replies Garattini – as you can get infected during the nightlife, with all these aperitifs”.
