The percentage of positives in the swabs performed is around 13.6%. The swabs made in 24 hours (124,686) are about 40,000 less than yesterday, when they were 161,880.
At this point in the epidemic, there is no point cleaning the ‘carpet’, it is better to focus on tracing the contacts and making them only ‘directed’, but without actually doing them only to those who are symptomatic. This is the comment of the epidemiologist Donato Greco on the hypothesis raised by some regions to test only the symptomatic and family. “Objectively, an extraordinary mass of tampons in the asymptomatic does not make sense, it is better to concentrate on the symptomatic and then insist and strengthen the tracing, which is in difficulty, and then tamp the close contacts – said Greco -. Now it happens instead that tampons are made. unmotivated, perhaps because there was a case in his apartment building, or because some doctor prescribes it with some lightness, with the result of clogging the system. “
