September 27, 2020 "We are at the limit on infections. We are better off than other countries because we have made a series of choices during and after the lockdown, but now we are paying for the relaxation of the guard that occurred in the summer".
Thus in an interview with Messaggero, the consultant of the Ministry of Health Walter Ricciardi, an Italian member of the WHO board.
The risk is "a ripple effect. We are still in a position to control these outbreaks. But we cannot go any further, we must no longer go astray".
Compared to tampons for those coming from foreign countries, Ricciardi believes that other countries can be included in the list: "Greece now has good numbers, it makes no sense to keep it in that group. Great Britain, on the other hand, has worrying numbers, such as Belgium and Denmark. If their data don't improve, they are countries to keep under control. "
On stadiums "it is not really the time to let our guard down, we are waiting at least two weeks to see what is happening in the schools".
The discos, on the other hand, "cannot be opened during an epidemic".
Are the health facilities ready today?
"At least 2 out of 3 hospitals are inadequate. Some regions such as Emilia, Veneto, even Lazio are in good shape. Others are far behind, it is alarming. Intensive care is prepared, we have doubled the number of places. intensive I am worried. The upgrade happened in patches ".
Finally, for Ricciardi two things are essential now: "Download the Immune app" and "get vaccinated against the flu".
