Crucial moment for the coronavirus in Italy: Infections are on the rise, schools have reopened, and the fear of a second wave is real.
However, it is clear that our country is in a better situation than neighboring European nations. The beyond 10,000 the daily cases of France and Spain make the whole continent tremble.
What is really saving Italy from a worrying scenario? And what to expect in the near future? Expert Galli offers some answers.
The severe blockade saved Italy
me 1,900 contagion The newspapers of Friday, September 25, have also alarmed our country, although the figures point to a greater calm than the frightening French and Spanish figures, with more than 15,000 and 12,000 positives in 24 hours.
After the WHO has praised the Italian system for the response to the epidemic, the question circulating among the population and experts is: why is the Italian peninsula somehow saved from an unstoppable wave?
The answer came from Professor Galli, director of infectious diseases at the Sacco di Milano. Everything revolves around emergency shutdown severe and shocking from March to April. The sacrifice of those two unusual months would have saved Italy.
This explains the situation that the expert interviewed by The Corriere della Sera:
“The confinement as we have lived and suffered it, more rigorous than in other places, has limited virus circulation in some parts of Italy. Several regions have not had new cases for some time. That radical intervention gave us a kind of wave of protection, but the balance is fragile. “
Beware of claiming victory too early. the COVID-19 continues to circulate without ever having left and circulates mainly in family contexts, endangering the older and more fragile people.
According to Galli, therefore, we still have weeks of prudence ahead, with the immediate objective of strengthening territorial medicine. Only then can outbreaks be stopped in time and a sustainable situation can be maintained.
What to monitor until October
Certainties about the evolution of coronavirus in Italy. Galli, in fact, speculates that it is necessary to wait at least until October 10 to understand what impact the opening of schools has had and whether a longer state of emergency will really be necessary.
Meanwhile, the professor warns about some key points: keep intensive care under observation (the more infections increase, the greater the need for hospitalization); favor it smart work where possible; limited to 1,000 the number of fans in stadiums.
Galli hopes the second wave never comes.
