September 22, 2020 "The circulation of the virus will rise, it is undeniable. Infections will continue to rise, but they will do so gradually, with controlled growth through swabs and surveillance. There will be many outbreaks and there will also be an overlap with flu syndromes. But we don't have to worry. "

The Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, said this in an interview with In Blu Radio, the Catholic radio network of the CEI.



"When we talk about the second wave, panic is triggered - he continued - the second wave that we will experience all over the world will hardly be like that of February and March because it would mean not wearing a mask, not washing your hands and staying close. And then today. we have swab surveillance. "



Worried about lunches with family and friends


 "Hospitals in recent months have been amplifiers of the spread of the virus, now it does not happen because there are protocols like in the RSA. Today I am much more worried about Sunday lunches with the family and dinners with friends. Many people think that the virus if they are not caught this is a mistake that should not be made ", said Sileri.

"I find it hard to think that today we could find ourselves in the same situation as in February and March, when the virus attacked us from behind".



Not only does France need a broad strategy


"The risk of having import cases is high. It would take a broader strategy, not only of Italy towards France but a vision of the whole of Europe to give defined lines", said Sileri .

"Today is France - added the Deputy Minister of Health - but tomorrow the cases will rise in Germany and then in England. Until we have a vaccine this is what we should expect. We could do tests at the airport even if the swab negative does not bring the risk to zero ".

According to the deputy minister, "the alternative is to have a swab 2-3 days prior to departure. This means living with the virus because the risk cannot be zero. If all states did this we could intercept situations that could trigger outbreaks. The risk will never be controlled. "
