Delta variant “soon dominant, variants emerge continuously”

We must find a balance between ensuring vaccination coverage as quickly as possible and, at the same time, modulating prevention measures, including non-pharmacological ones, precisely to ensure that, until all people at risk are covered “through vaccination, “the circulation of the virus can be controlled as much as possible.” This was stated by the president of the Higher Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, in the lecture held today for the opening of the 53rd extraordinary Congress of the Italian Society of Hygiene, preventive medicine and public health (Sites).
