“As for the mask, I honestly do not know what to say anymore. It seems to me that there is an almost psychotic political will to continue to want to maintain the obligation” of the protection device against covid, but “in my opinion it is completely wrong, it is wrong: it is a political declination of the mask that does not have a scientific rationale “. Matteo Bassetti, head of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Polyclinic in Genoa, declares this to Adnkronos Health, while June 15 is approaching, that is the date on which other ‘pieces of the residual obligation to wear the Dpi should fall in some contexts against Covid contagion.
In view of this deadline, the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza explained that the masks “we will keep them in health centers, while we will certainly take them off in cinemas and theaters. As for the means of transport, we will evaluate”. While in relation to the school, “the decree provides for the obligation until the end of the school year”. Bassetti insists: “I have always said that masks should pass from an obligation to a strong recommendation, in some contexts. If Italy and the Minister of Health decide to continue with the line of maintaining the obligation” in certain situations, ” evidently they will fully assume the responsibilities of an attitude that, in my opinion, first of all hurts the masks themselves – the doctor reasons – because in this way the mask is no longer experienced as a protection tool, but is perceived by many as a tool of protection. coercion”.
“June 15 was supposed to be the date on which the masks were taken off and I would hope that they were removed – adds the infectious disease specialist – After which, if they do not rise, it is clear that we will have to explain something to people because cases continue to decline, and the percentage of positives has reached that fateful 10% that someone had somehow set as a goal to remove the obligation to wear masks “.
