According to reports, in response to this point of view, Richardi, the scientific advisor of the Italian Ministry of Health and director of the National Institute of Advanced Health, explained that we must have foresight and reason to prevent the epidemic.
The goal now is to prevent the new crown epidemic from rebounding in October this year.
In addition, there are three main factors that don't allow us to lift all the containment measures, Richardi said.
First, the number of people infected with the new crown virus is still high, and there are many deaths; second, the situation in Russia and Ukraine has led to millions of unvaccinated people migrating to Europe; third, Africa's new crown vaccination rate is low, so low Vaccine protection rates contribute to the generation of new variants of the new coronavirus.
The World Health Organization has warned that the sudden change in the situation in Russia and Ukraine has resulted in a low rate of new coronavirus testing, which means that there are a large number of undetected infections.
Moreover, Ukrainian refugees have limited conditions and crowded crowds during the escape process, which is very easy for the virus to spread on a large scale.
This, combined with the low vaccination coverage in Ukraine, increases the risk of serious illness for a large number of people.
Massimo Galli, director of infectious diseases at Milan's Sacco Hospital, pointed out that a large number of Ukrainian refugees going to European countries without any epidemic prevention measures may trigger a new round of epidemics.
The Italian Ministry of Civil Protection reported 35,057 new confirmed cases of the new crown on the 6th and 105 deaths.
