Delta variant, Gimbe: “Infections will increase but not deaths and hospitalizations”

With the spread of the Delta variant of Covid, infections will increase but not deaths and hospitalizations. This was supported by Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation. “What we imagined is happening, if a more contagious variant begins to spread and is destined to become predominant, it is normal for the cases to increase. If the Regions carry out the tracing, they do the sequencing and if they protect the elderly and frail with two doses of vaccine we will see an increase in infections in the coming weeks, but not in hospitalizations and deaths “, he said in his speech to ‘Italy has awakened’ on Radio Cusano Campus. “Our Achilles heel at the moment is represented by the 2.5 million over 60 who are not vaccinated, but also by those who have only taken one dose, so we must accelerate with the second doses”, highlighted Cartabellotta.
