Covid, Bertolaso: “Lombardy holds but could move to the yellow zone”

Lombardy at risk of the yellow zone? “Lombardy is one of the few realities that still holds in the context of the colors that distinguish the evaluation of the epidemic – said Guido Bertolaso, coordinator of the vaccination campaign in Lombardy, during a live Facebook on the Lombardia News Online page. – The region is still white, in the sense that there are in fact no particular limitations, because we are still on quite good numbers but which we see day by day, slowly, are cracking and are leading us towards a situation that could therefore change from white to yellow “. “Unfortunately it is inevitable – underlined Bertolaso ​​- with the approach of the cold season, as it happened last year, we remember that we were in much worse shape. This year we still have to face a restart of the spread of the virus, which is still being curbed. and controlled, fortunately, by this huge vaccination campaign that we managed to promote in Lombardy and which is the one that is protecting and defending us “.” The only defense we have against Covid is vaccination – he remarked again – Now we have started with the third dose, we have reached coverage between 30 and 35% of those who are entitled today. Thank goodness we see that bookings are increasing day by day, we are already on very important numbers and we are convinced that this trend it will continue to increase in the coming days “. “The organizational machine works very well – underlined Bertolaso ​​- there are vaccines, there is only an excuse for anyone not to go and get vaccinated with the third dose”. Then he recalled: “From 1 December we will also start with the 40-60 years of age, the over 60 and the frail can already do it, as well as those vaccinated with J&J”.
