In Lazio to date, “no new Covid beds are expected to open. There is no need, since the scenario in which we find ourselves so far is the lowest”. This was announced in a note by the Covid Crisis Unit of the Lazio Region. “The occupancy rate of beds in the medical area is currently just 2%, 38 points less than the alert threshold, as well as the occupancy rate in intensive care equal to 3%, is 10 times lower than the threshold of Therefore, in these conditions, there is no need to open Covid beds. The priority remains vaccination “, remarks the Crisis Unit of the region. Francesco Vaia, director of the Inmi Spallanzani of Rome, also dwells on the situation in Lazio. “In this phase we must not scare the Italians by hitting the front page at times unlikely increases in hospitalizations, which do not exist, or in infections. In this phase, the younger population that has not yet been vaccinated is infected: children, rightly, they see each other again, they want to go on vacation, we have regained mobility. We must become aware of this: we need to vaccinate the youngest and also the over 60 who are still missing. We must push in this direction “, highlights Vaia at Adnkronos Health. “The vast majority of Italians – observes Vaia – have understood that the vaccine is an effective tool against the pandemic because it serves to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and mortality, as all the numbers in our possession say. In addition, it also prevents contagion. But the vaccine is not a miraculous potion, it has its share of risk that we know and know. But the more population we vaccinate, the more we reduce the risk of the circulation of the virus and, as happened with other pandemics, this too will end because we will have I achieve a population immunity “.
