Coronavirus, Brusaferro: “The school is monitored, the virus runs, as in other places” [VIDEO]

Live coverage of the press conference on the analysis of the epidemiological situation in Italy.

The president of the Higher Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, the president of the Higher Health Council, Franco Locatelli, and the general director of Health Prevention of the Ministry of Health, Gianni Rezza, participated.

Stefano Merler, a researcher at the Bruno Kessler Foundation, spoke: “We calculated the RT from two data sources: the time series of symptomatic data and the date of onset of symptoms. We do not consider asymptomatic patients because they are a very unstable number over time and when there is difficulty in tracking contact, their participation decreases. The decrease in Rt since mid-October has occurred both in symptomatic Rt and in hospitalizations. The RT is not below 1 yet, so the epidemic continues to grow. But there is a decrease ”.

“Indicators are a combination of timely indicators and others that take longer to collect, such as incubation time. The set of elements collected takes into account this variability ”. Then the president of the Higher Institute of Health.

Then about the school: “At the school there is a monitoring developed by the Ministry of Education to identify outbreaks. In fact, it has been evaluated how the diffusion in schools is comparable to that of other parts of the country. That is why school is a heavily monitored issue. “
