RICCIARDI – “India pays dearly for reckless openings and the fact that a series of demonstrations involving millions of people, who have been in contact with each other, have been authorized. And this, together with the unprepared Country from the health point of view and the failure to start the “anti-Covid” vaccination campaign, has determined terrible numbers that are worrying for the whole planet. Because people move from India and with a flight can go to any other country of the world and bring this variant “of Sars-CoV-2,” which is called Indian and which is much more contagious even than the English one “. This is the warning launched by Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza and president of the World Federation of Public Health Associations (Wfpha), who spoke today at ‘Buongiorno’ on Sky Tg24. “We – explained the expert – have launched an international coalition because the world is currently characterized by areas and countries where the “Covid-19” situation is improving, and also a lot, above all thanks to vaccinations and precautionary measures in the circulation of people, and other areas in unfortunately the situation is dramatic. We see that there is an alarm signal in Taiwan too, not to mention the Indian situation. So we have come together, scientific leaders from all continents, to provide political solutions to seek to speed up the way out of this situation or to stop situations of very serious emergency such as those that are taking place today in India “.
