Delta variant, Andreoni: “Do not remove masks indoors”

“It is not the time to think of being able to remove the mask even indoors and this also applies to those who are vaccinated, because they can be a transmitter of the virus”. Massimo Andreoni, scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (Simit) and head of Infectious Diseases at the Tor Vergata Polyclinic in Rome, underlines this to Adnkronos Health, commenting on the decision of Los Angeles County that asked residents to wear again masks indoors, in public places, even if vaccinated. “I understand that we need to give reassuring messages, that we are getting out of this situation and when it happens that we have to go back on some measures, an alarm message instead passes, but we must be cautious – Andreoni highlights -. over 60 who are not vaccinated, if the Delta variant spreads we will have a not exactly painless impact “.
