Covid, Locatelli: “It is the fourth cause of death in Italy”

“Covid has become the fourth cause of death in Italy”, while “in the US it is in third place”. Franco Locatelli, coordinator of the technical-scientific committee for the coronavirus emergency and president of the Higher Health Council, said this to the microphones of Rai Radio 1. “According to data collected by the WHO – he stressed – in 94% of countries the pandemic it then caused an alteration or interruption of health services “. As for the anti covid vaccine and the ‘booster’ dose, “the third dose for healthy and young subjects is by no means obvious”. Before extending the ‘booster’ to everyone, Locatelli explained, “it is necessary to provide coverage in countries where the vaccination campaign is incomparably lower”.
