Covid, Hope: “With contagion variants even with many vaccinations”

“Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic is not over. We must tell the truth: the numbers tell us, even in other parts of Europe and the world, that despite a significant vaccination, contagion can occur due to these variants, especially the variant Delta”. This was highlighted by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, on the sidelines of a visit to the ‘San Leopoldo Mandic’ hospital in Merate (Lecco), accompanied by the vice president and councilor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region, Letizia Moratti. “This – he added – must push us, even more, to run on vaccinations and to maintain that attitude of prudence, attention and gradualness that I believe to be indispensable. We must continue on the path that we started on April 26, which is a path of graduality and great prudence – the minister insisted – because this battle is not yet won and the pitfall of variants is a pitfall to be dealt with with the utmost attention “. it is the real, important weapon we have to end this difficult season. Today we will exceed 54 million doses administered “. “We must insist and work because this vaccine is truly fundamental if we want to put such a difficult past behind us”, he reiterated. Regarding the vaccination obligation for health professionals, “we must work to ensure that that standard is fully respected”, recalled the Minister of Health.
