Covid Italia, Ricciardi: “Risk of a wave of infections between June and July”

No restrictions but the health emergency linked to the covid does not cease. And beware of the risk of a wave of infections between June and July. This is the picture that Walter Ricciardi outlines. “The legal emergency can cease. The health emergency does not cease. From 1 April, the fact that there is no longer the commissioner structure, which corresponds to the emergency on a legal level, worries me. Because in fact, what will happen is that, on the health level, the crisis will continue and, probably, the growth of infections will continue and, if we do not stop them, there will be a strong wave between June and July “, the Ordinary of General and Applied Hygiene at the Faculty of Medicine and surgery of the Catholic University and scientific advisor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. “The pre-pandemic decision-making mechanisms will be restored. We will need to be very careful because if we do not coordinate well in this phase, in the absence of a legal emergency, there will be an open door to the circulation of the virus between the Regions,” he says. including the restoration of full capacity in the stadiums. The easing of anti-Covid measures in outdoor events “can be implemented as long as there is a stake in the use of masks and the maintenance, when possible, of safety distances. When instead 100 thousand people are kept close, without masks, the doors to Omicron 2 are opened wide. If, on the other hand, outdoor events are held in which, even by being close to each other, the rigorous use of this protection is maintained, it can be done “.
