Covid today Lombardia, Bertolaso: “Mask use can be revised”

Guido Bertolaso ​​opens to a review of the use of masks now that the numbers of the Covid pandemic are improving. “We continue to be cautious, but maybe something that creates discomfort such as masks and distancing deserves to be revised and corrected, I don’t say abolished but maybe reorganized”, underlines the head of the vaccination campaign in Lombardy. “I believe – he argues – that if the numbers continue to be so positive, not only in Lombardy but also in all other regions of Italy, with some rare exceptions, one can also imagine saying that, where a Region is in the white zone for more than three months, certain measures could even be lightened. So the use of the mask beyond very crowded places can be somewhat reduced “. The mask, he continues, “was fundamental to limit the spread of Covid, but today with the numbers and data that are improving, we can also think of reducing the measures for the use of the mask. This does not mean that we must let go but we must continue to be very careful “. New wave of Covid? Bertolaso ​​feels he can “exclude it”. “You’ve seen the numbers” underlines the head of the vaccination campaign in Lombardy during a press conference, “but if that happens they won’t find us unprepared”. By mid-October, 150,000 immuno-compromised (or fragile) people will be immunized with the third dose in Lombardy. “When General Figliuolo tells us to leave with the RSA (about 80 thousand people), with the over 80 (about 680 thousand) and health workers (396 thousand), we are ready from mid-October. We await the indications of the government and of Figliuolo. , we do not say: we are good and we leave early. We wait as we have always done “.
