“Especially last year, the flu circulated until it opened, so it is and is still circulating, as are various respiratory viruses also present, also aided by the temperatures which are still not spring-like. The cold in fact creates the conditions, or rather predisposes, to infections of the respiratory tract. The many cases that are still seen of influenza (especially type B influenza) with even some hospitalizations, colds and even the syncytial virus in adults, are also due to the low vaccination coverage. It is clear that an Easter in the name of bad weather it will facilitate family gatherings at home and not outdoors and this puts the fragile more at risk, let's remember to pay a minimum amount of attention with them and with the elderly”. She explains it to Adnkronos Salute Massimo Andreoni, scientific director of Simit, the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases.
Mask? In other countries it is normal to use it in spring for pollen and also for the tail of respiratory viruses, but here it suffers from the legacy of Covid. Many would cut off their fingers to avoid wearing it.”
