“We must learn to live with an important circulation situation” of the covid. “In some months of the year the number of cases will go from 5,000 to 100 thousand and we will be able to manage this fluctuation based on certain conditions: environmental conditions, people’s behavior and the level of immunological protection of the population. The next winters will bring us these situations of peak and descent, the first in winter and then in the quiet summer “. So at Adnkronos Salute Massimo Andreonihead of infectious disease at the Tor Vergata Polyclinic in Rome, comments on the increase in Covid cases in the last week.
In this situation of coronavirus endemic, what are the strategies to contain it? “We understood that the vaccine reduces circulation and protects us from serious illness – recalls Andreoni – the mask helps us to avoid risky situations indoors and gatherings outdoors. Then it is clear that we will go towards an annual dose of the vaccine. not a fourth dose, but an annual booster to avoid autumn recrudescences, as is already done for the flu “.
And the Green pass, what will happen to it? “It helped us to impose vaccination on some people – replies Andreoni – I would say that it must be kept according to the epidemic situation, if it is low it can be lightened”. Finally, on the stop of indoor masks, a hypothesis that has been circulating since April, Andreoni is clear: “It must be kept even beyond the end of the state of emergency, and I would also recommend not taking it off outdoors when there is crowding”.
