October 19, 2020 "A great international effort is being made on vaccines. Realistically I believe we could start vaccinations for frail people, law enforcement, health workers in the first months of next spring".

This was stated by Franco Locatelli, president of the Superior Health Council and member of the CTS, in an interview with InBlu Radio, the Catholic radio network of the CEI.



"Arcuri's work on tampons - added Locatelli - is formidable. In the last few days of molecular tampons we have reached over 150 thousand. And Italy is one of the countries that makes more tampons in the world. Right now there is also the availability of rapid antigenic tests. However, more than numbers, I would speak of strategies because it would become a race that would go to self-support and would move the bar higher and higher. Saying 'let's do more tampons' is easy while the discourse on' elaboration of a strategy in terms of the country system to start the creation of these tampons. We must make the pathways more efficient and above all we give an important role to general practitioners ".



"The current situation - Locatelli explained to InBlu Radio - is very different from that of March where the burden of pathology that weighed on was significantly greater than today. Just go and see the number of intensive care units and people who have lost life. Certainly there has been an important acceleration in the number of infected people but there are significant differences ".
