Professor Silvio Brusaferro, president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanit, yesterday there were more than 1,700 new cases. Should we be afraid?
The data for these days is due to the behaviors of August. Compared to other European countries, the number of cases is even lower. If we want them not to rise and the curve has a positive adjustment, we must firmly insert the well-known rules of hand, personal and environmental hygiene, interpersonal distancing and the use of masks in our daily lives. Don’t worry, you need attention, awareness and knowing how to live with this virus.
ICU admissions are increasing, an alarm?
The more the number of positives increases, the more the iceberg of critically ill patients appears. This phenomenon is also due to the growth of summer infections. the vertex of a pyramid that can be modified. There is currently no alarm. The response capacity of the health system is extensive and the regions are responding to requests for assistance.
The lower incidence of severe cases due only to decreasing age?
The average age is less than 30 years, but asymptomatic patients exceed half. The virus is more dangerous in relation to age and the presence of other pathologies. From now on, the challenge is to prevent young people from being a vehicle for the spread of contagion for the elderly and frail. To date we have no elements to affirm that the disease has changed.
Are the asymptomatic a threat?
They are carriers of viruses. Each individual has their own characterization regarding viral load and the possibility of transmission depends on this. Even those with a low viral load can infect. Therefore, correct behavior cannot be ignored, starting with quarantine.
The school reopens, what scenarios?
Opening the school is an equally critical step in keeping it open throughout the year. Other European countries have already restarted teaching activities. There have been cases and outbreaks within the institutions but managed with restrictive measures. Then the temporary emergencies returned. In Italy, it can be hypothesized that quarantine measures or restrictive measures will be defined on the basis of local situations. There are all the conditions to face reopening with confidence, this does not mean that there are no cases and suspensions but without the need to block the system.
Why is the surgical mask recommended at school?
a protection tool that guarantees uniformly high efficiency to students, teachers and administrative technical staff. It should be noted that free and the structure of Commissioner Arcuri will guarantee the distribution of more than 10 million pieces per day. Only the mask is not enough, you need hygiene and distance.
The least protective cloth mask?
Community masks are important and should be used where recommended. They are subject to performance variations by type. At school, having an effective and homogeneous protection tool for everyone is ideal. Surgery, due to the high standards of effectiveness that it must certify, has these characteristics.
When should a teacher be considered fragile?
The risk assessment of workers is the responsibility of competent doctors, a network that has been strengthened. Individual frailty must be related to occupational risk.
Mask and outdoors?
necessary if the distance of at least one meter cannot be maintained. In situations of great crowding it is correct and I would say advisable to carry it. a fundamental tool.
Sports events only behind closed doors? HE
Mass meetings are considered in the world as the highest level of risk that is not linked only to the event. There are a number of problems with managing the entry and exit of people. The CTS believes that there are currently no conditions for spectator events and is also concerned not to overload the system with other risk factors.
Vaccine distribution plan ready?
It is essential to have data on the efficacy and on what type of immune coverage we could obtain by administering the vaccines that are now being tested. Each one has its own characteristics and the plan cannot do without this knowledge. Once the results are available, production will begin and we will know how many doses to count initially.
