Covid Italia, Costa: “Freeing the asymptomatic positives”

“We must start from the awareness that zero contagion is not feasible and that the only solution is coexistence with the virus. At the moment, therefore, there is no restrictive measure on the table of the Government. I believe it is wrong to argue, however. , that the Government is not intervening, considering that we have never let our guard down or stopped monitoring the situation. In this direction we are proceeding with the second recall for the over 80s and as soon as possible, in agreement with Ema and Aifa, we is considering an expansion of the audience up to the age of sixty “. Thus the Undersecretary of Health, Andrea Costa, in an interview with Il Tempo. “This wave, given, like all the previous ones, will be self-limiting. By the end of the month we will reach the peak and then the infections will return to decline, as is already happening in countries, such as Portugal, hit before Italy by this upsurge”, Costa explains, adding that “the real lockdown will be risked if we do not start a serious reflection on the elimination of the isolation of asymptomatic positives”. Regarding the reopening of the school, Costa states that “the Government’s objective is to start September in the presence and without masks. Enough. We cannot continue to compromise the training of our boys and girls. We must support the Regions, exploiting them. weeks of summer closure of the institutes, in intervening on the ventilation systems in the classrooms. We have already allocated numerous resources and clarified the intended use by decree “.
