The epidemiological situation in Rome (yesterday 2,381 new coronavirus infections) is leading “to one great pressure on hospitals, which is still under control. Facilities are adapting to this growth situation and some departments are being converted. Of course, the next 2 weeks will be very busy. “Thus at Adnkronos Salute Massimo Andreoni, head of infectious disease at the Tor Vergata Polyclinic in Rome and scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (Simit), taking stock of the Covid situation in the Capital.
As for the latest anti-Covid decree, “it has good measures that I agree with and will be useful – says Andreoni – while I am very perplexed about the decision to reduce the quarantine for vaccinated people who have had contact with a positive: it is a risk without scientific basis that will certainly lead to greater circulation of the virus“.
The new measures “are a crackdown that amounts to a semi-lockdown for the unvaccinated – observes the infectious disease specialist – and could help convince other people to get immunized. It is a stimulus that I share “.
