Delta variant, Ricciardi: “Out of control in Gb”

“I hope that the English fans do not arrive in Rome. The circulation of the Delta variant in Great Britain is so intense and out of control that a large opening should be avoided.” To tell Adnkronos Health Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health for the coronavirus emergency and professor of Hygiene at the Catholic University of Rome, referring to the England-Ukraine European football match that will be played on Saturday at the Olympic stadium in Rome. “We have put in a precautionary measure which is the 5-day quarantine. Since the match is in 4 days I hope that any flow will stop,” he adds. “It is good – continues Ricciardi – that all checks are carried out at the airports and that only people who are vaccinated, naturally immune or with negative swabs are allowed to pass. All checks must be carried out with the utmost rigor because from that area, as well as from the Russia, at this moment comes the greatest risk. We need very detailed checks, individual by individual “.
