Euro 2020, Pregliasco: “Deadly cheering for Covid”

“The scenes we saw last night” during the celebrations for the victory of the national team at the European football championships “are something deadly” for the spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. The virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, a professor at the University of Milan, does not mince words with Adnkrons Salute to brand the behavior of the fans who poured into the streets after the Azzurri’s victory in the semifinal against Spain as “dangerous”. “It’s not nice – he says – because it really means letting your guard down and making life easier for this virus”. This is “an uncalculated risk”, Pregliasco warns. Recalling that, for similar facts, “it appears that in Copenhagen on the 16th and then on the 17th in St. Petersburg there were two outbreaks”. In view of next Sunday’s final, therefore, “it would not be bad to be able to organize things as much as possible checked “, suggests Pregliasco, perhaps with squares with restricted entrances and Green pass,” but I think it will be difficult. It is clear that then the processions and carousels in the car with the horns are not avoidable, but – concludes the doctor bitterly – we hope to do not go from horns to ambulance sirens “.
