“We remember that we are still in a pandemic phase, although in this phase we manage to have a rather limited circulation” of the coronavirus Sars-CoV-2. This was explained by the president of the Higher Institute of Health (Iss), Silvio Brusaferro, during the press conference on the analysis of the data of the Covid Monitoring of the control room. “There are indications that can be given, but these must be declined in the different realities, and at this moment I think it is very important to work towards a perspective of reopening all activities, as in fact is happening, continuously monitoring the epidemiological trend of Covid, with attention and prudence – said Brusaferro – I believe that within these modulations it is important to ensure that we continue to promote the vaccination of those who have not yet been vaccinated, and in the frail, also by strengthening immunity where required. therefore it will be able to characterize us in the coming weeks “. “The first consideration – he added – is that we are in a stable and decreasing situation, strongly monitored with a set of indicators and activities carried out daily at local, regional and national level that also allow us to compare the” Covid “trend with respect to to other countries. The variants that exist are monitored very well. We know that the share of vaccinated people continues to grow and also the fact that the majority of the population uses attention and is prudent in wearing a mask in crowded conditions and in places closed is helping to reduce the circulation of the virus “. Speaking of Monitoring, the president of the Higher Institute of Health pointed out that “the RT data are constantly below the value of 1, with a punctual Rt equal to 0.82 and the projected one a week ahead is 0.83 and that of hospitalizations is 0.80. From week to week the curve is constantly under 1 and this has an important significance because it means that it is below the epidemic threshold “. “On the EU map, many green areas are beginning to be seen, although there are still countries where circulation is significant. In Italy the trend of the curve is very controlled and decreases, this decline occurs in all age groups, vice versa some Regions have small upward movements that then fall back and are situations that indicate physiological stability “underlined Brusaferro.” In the most recent flash survey we did, 100% of the sequenced strains were attributable to the Delta variant “of the coronavirus, he later explained. “This is a fact that is confirmed and must be kept monitored”, remarked the expert. The survey also found that 23 different ‘AY’ sub-lineages of the same variant were reported. “The important thing – added Brusaferro – is also to remember the number of laboratories that are engaged in this type of activity, 133. And this is testimony to the continuous commitment to constantly keep the sequencing that is performed above 5%”. As for vaccinations – he explained – there is a slight decrease in efficacy as regards the ability to contract the infection which is positioned between 75 and 80% “.” The Delta variant “of Sars-CoV -2 “now circulates almost exclusively” in Italy. “Hence the importance of increasing vaccination coverage – said Brusaferro – of completing vaccination cycles where only the first doses were made and above all maintaining a high immune response, following the recommendations issued by the Medicines Agency. Aifa and the ministry about the opportunity to reinforcements, references to the more fragile categories in particular “.” The vaccination data – he added – shows a continuous increase. It is important to underline how the 20-29 age group has now almost reached 85% and also in the 50-59 and 60-69 age groups (in particular the 60-69 year-olds) are moving towards 90% coverage at least with the first dose. It should be noted that even younger children between 12 and 19 years, they reached almost 70% coverage with the first dose “.
