April 15, 2020 "The problem of buffer delays has been a serious problem, especially in the areas most affected. If we have to move to phase 2 we must be more ready in the area, we need to make the tracing of contacts, we cannot leave people at home waiting for the tampons. You have to be more prepared. " Giovanni Rezza, director of the Department of infectious diseases of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, told Cartabianca on Rai3.

"There is an increase in swabs, we have had delays partly caused by structural deficiencies, partly by territorial deficiencies and partly by the lack of reagents. There was indeed a great need and it was not easy to obtain supplies. But I must say that there is less pressure on hospitals, but it seems to me that everything is working better, even if not ideally, "he added. "It is true that we are in a downward phase, there is less pressure on intensive care, but we are still in phase 1. It is one thing to make gradual openings, but one account is not all free den. There are too many deaths, too many cases and the virus will continue to circulate, "concluded Rezza.

#Rezza: "The serological tests, which are not yet reliable and validated, tell us that we have antibodies, but we do not know when we came into contact with the virus. The swab becomes diriment. To go to phase 2 you must be more present in the territory ". #cartabianca pic.twitter.com/afyhjY24tr

The infectious disease specialist, Massimo Galli, past-president of Simit, the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, has the same opinion of Rezza : "We need more tests and examinations that allow us to skim that part of the population that has the infection and that could continue to spread it at the time of the reopening "he underlines. While Fabrizio Pregliasco , virologist and Health Director of the IRCCS of Milan warns: "It is not the time to talk about 'phase 2' only when the situation improves, we could intervene on each individual case and on its contacts".
