Covid, Sileri: “We could reach 50 thousand infections a day”

“We too” in Italy “will have an increasing number of deaths and hospitalized” by covid, “which however will be lower in proportion to the number of infected people: it means that we need to change the parameters. Attention, however, we could also reach 50-60 thousand infections and then an area could turn yellow or orange even during the summer “. The undersecretary of health, Pierpaolo Sileri, guest of ‘In Onda’ on La7 says this. “We need to introduce a green pass in a gradual and proportionate manner to the progress of the epidemic”, emphasizes Sileri, explaining that “in the next few hours it will be decided”. “The most common sense thing is that there will be a progressive introduction of the green pass as an alternative to the closures, it is clear that the parameters must be changed: if today you have 5 thousand infections that are mainly young and do not lead to an increase in hospitalizations, such as is happening in the UK, it means that those infections are not the same as months ago. This is not because the virus has become less strong, but because the population is vaccinated “.
