Euro 2020, Gismondo reassures: “Few risks of contagion after celebrations”

Few risks of contagion for the celebrations after the victory of Italy against Spain in the semifinals of Euro 2020. This is how Maria Rita Gismondo, director of the Laboratory of clinical microbiology, virology and diagnostics of bio-emergencies of the Sacco hospital in Milan reassures. ” current situation “of the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy, and” given the positive numbers, I do not see a particular risk after the celebrations “yesterday for the victory of the Azzurri against Spain” or after those that, we hope for Italy with a patriotic spirit, they could be there on Sunday evening “, he says. “The celebrations” as they took place “were absolutely foreseen – notes the expert at Adnkronos Salute – Fans or not, I don’t think there was anyone who could not really have foreseen that in case of victory things would have gone like this”. Gismondo then explains that “our main chance” to win the war against Covid-19 “is vaccination. Those who do not get vaccinated take on a great social responsibility” and “at this point, given the evidence” and given the number of ‘ bag that still escapes the injection-shield, “I would go for a vaccination obligation aimed at the weakest and most exposed” to possible serious consequences of the coronavirus infection. “By now – underlines the expert – we have certain proof that vaccination, at least in this phase, is the only possibility to avoid continuing to have hospitalizations in intensive care and deaths. England, which despite having a large diffusion of the Delta variant “of the pandemic coronavitus,” continues not to record an increase in deaths and hospitalizations “. These are precisely “the evidences”. But if they are not enough to convince those who risk more, according to Gismondo the obligation for these categories should be evaluated.
