Indoor masks, Andreoni: “Stop only under 5,000 infections”

On the obligation to wear masks indoors “we should understand that it is not advisable to announce precise dates on the end of this measure. It is difficult to understand what may happen. There is much talk about the date of May 1st, but it seems to me more a desire but a concrete reality . I believe that the precautions must be maintained and an argument can be made about stopping the masks indoors when the daily cases will return below 5 thousand cases a day. The protective device has no seasonality, but under this figure we would have greater guarantees not to meet so easily a positive “. Massimo Andreoni, head of infectious disease at the Tor Vergata Polyclinic in Rome and scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (Simit), highlights this at Adnkronos Salute Massimo Andreoni, speaking on the question of the obligation to wear masks indoors, a measure that should be discussed in the Cabin of Queen of the Government to evaluate the elimination from the 1st of May. According to Andreoni, the mask should still be worn “in dance clubs, museums, cinemas and theaters” and to colleagues who instead call for the end of these measures, stating that only in Italy this obligation still resists, the infectious disease specialist recalls that ” it is a reasoning that holds little, we are careful to send the wrong messages as happened in 2020 or 2021 “.
