Vaccine covid, Ricciardi: “With 90% coverage of the emergency state it will be possible to mitigate”

Mandatory green pass, “the measure has already revealed its effectiveness and will further demonstrate it, as happened in Denmark. It will allow us to return to normalcy and safely carry out indoor activities, in which infected and contagious subjects will not participate”. Thus, in an interview with La Repubblica, Walter Ricciardi, consultant to Health Minister Roberto Speranza. According to Ricciardi “the protesters are a minority. As we have seen, they fail to understand how dangerous this pandemic is. If we do not protect health and the economy, that is work, we are in trouble. Instead we are among the best in the world. in this sense”. Will it be enough to reach 90% of first doses to rest assured? “Surely – Ricciardi says – that percentage will put us in a condition of greater serenity. It is not enough to eradicate the coronavirus because the children are not yet involved in the campaign but in any case it will make an extraordinary contribution to safety. Already now the problem is becoming individual and not collective, the health system is not under pressure. So 90% is fine but when children can also be vaccinated we will have to maintain the same coverage on the total population “. As for the possibility of removing, with these numbers and coverage, the state emergency that expires on December 31, Ricciardi states: “Let’s say that we are at least moving towards a security situation, even if the pandemic is not over. So our state of emergency can gradually be mitigated. However, we are surrounded by countries , both European, with dramatic figures in the East, not to mention the rest of the world, first and foremost the USA, where there are gruesome numbers. everyone in the world will be vaccinated “.
