Ricciardi: skip tracking
“The local health authorities can no longer track infections – says Ricciardi -, therefore virus containment strategy is not working. This is due to two phenomena that are occurring in many regions: the lack or delay of the strengthening of prevention departments (low number of hygienists available) and the thousands of outbreaks in progress. The situation is very serious, the regions are moving towards the loss of contagion control ”. And he adds: “Contact tracing does not work either manually, with interviews with positive viruses in their contacts, or technologically with the Immuni application.”
Bonaccini and solutions for school
Stefano bonaccini, President of Emilia Romagna and of the Conference of the Regions on morning 5, draws the line: “If infections were to increase even more, so as not to lose the school year to children” there are two ‘solutions’: distance education – partial, total – for the needy – or yes different school hoursAnd he explains: “If the school schedule is distributed more distributed in the morning and in the afternoon, the pressure on those who have to be taken to school and taken home is reduced.”

Locatelli (Cts): the march can be reversed
The president of the Superior Council of Health, Franco Locatelli, member of the Technical-Scientific Committee, stops: “I don’t think there are elements that can guide us to foresee a next, new blockade, much less a blockade to be achieved in such a defined time, but still relatively distant, such as vacation season she says to the Corriere della Sera. It will be decisive what each of us in individual behaviors will be able to contribute as a contribution to prevent the increase in new daily cases from assuming an exponential trend and escaping control.
