“At the moment the government is not turning back and there will be no restrictive anti-covid measures”. Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa specifies this in his speech to ‘Mattino Cinque’ on Canale 5, answering the question on the increase in infections.
“In fact we are facing a summer without restrictions, we must share with the pandemic also because zero contagion is unattainable. We must then pay attention to the level of occupancy of our hospitals and not the number of infections, therefore caution but not fear. Intensive care. they are at 4% and largely under control, which is positive and shows that the vaccine has protected us from serious disease, “he stressed.
“Making predictions is difficult. Those who say that October will be apocalyptic is not doing the good of the country and generates uncertainty and fear in Italians – added Costa – We must evaluate day by day and week after week and be ready. 92% of citizens he is vaccinated, we have the therapies and the monoclonals, we can manage a resurgence “.
“I am against the spasmodic search for the virus and for the positive, I believe that what we must pay attention to are the symptomatic citizens and those who risk the most, therefore elderly and frail, after which normality will be reached when a positive without symptoms can continue to work wearing a mask otherwise there is a risk of returning to block the country with a lockdown – underlined the Undersecretary of Health – We must reflect on this issue, observe what has happened in other countries where this Omicron 5 variant arrived earlier and the data is down. ”
As for the next vaccination campaign with the fourth anti-Covid dose in the autumn “I believe that politics must rely on what will be the scientific indications, I do not think it is up to politics to decide who and when to give the fourth dose. indications from Ema and then from Aifa and then we will begin by giving the possibility of administering the fourth dose of vaccine to the over 60s. It is time to renew confidence in science, if today we can face this scenario we must say thanks to the science that has given us made available the vaccines “.
