Goodbye to the mask? Garattini: “It protects, let’s keep it is still necessary”

Goodbye to the mask from today in France, but for Silvio Garattini it is a “still necessary” precaution. “I personally keep the mask and I keep it everywhere. I invite everyone to keep it, because it not only protects against Covid but also against other infections. This year we did not have the flu also thanks to the fact that we wore the mask on a regular basis” , said the founder and president of the Institute of Pharmacological Research Mario Negri Irccs in Milan, speaking at Agorà on Rai3. “We try to keep the general rules because they are still effective and necessary”, said Garattini. As for the vaccination obligation, “it could be a way for skeptical over 60s, but first let’s take care of those who want to get vaccinated and have not yet been able to do so due to the limits of our organization: it must be a priority objective”, said Garattini.
