Sileri: "Italy risks stopping"
"To see the effects of the resumption of school will take at least two weeks, there will certainly be outbreaks, actually there are already, but this is the new normal. In fact, I am more concerned about the controls of these outbreaks. And I still am. more from the quarantines because we risk that when a positive boy is found a fair number of people ends up in isolation.
And then it may happen that with the concomitance of the flu syndrome, Italy may stop not for the lockdown but for the multiplication of quarantines " .
The Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, said this at Rete 4.
