The epidemiological situation in Italy shows signs of improvement based on data fromHigher Institute of Health.
There is a decrease in cases more or less in all the Regions and the Rt index is again below threshold 1. However, the figures are still too high to be considered outside the emergency.
And, above all, by loosen measurements, even more in view of the Christmas. Brusaferro, president of the ISS, did not beat around the bush to warn Italians during the Christmas season.
The risk of falling into a serious new wave of infections in early 2021 is very high. What to do? Celebrate the Christmas with Covid rules It’s critic. This is the warning from the ISS.
How to celebrate Christmas according to the ISS
A Christmas Low and measured tones should characterize this December 2020 marked by the pandemic. They have no doubts about the Higher Institute of Health. As has been repeated several times, the difference in the fight against the coronavirus will be made by individuals with their behaviors.
The Christmas holidays will test the small progress made in recent weeks to contain Covid. If there is relaxation and prudence has diminished in the name of dinners, hugs, family gatherings, the January scene will become a picture, again, dramatic.
Brusaferro, president of the ISS, explained it for the umpteenth time today, December 12, at his press conference. Christmas must have new rules:
“ME lunches with dozens of people for Christmas there are events to plan. Remember that I bezel-less contacts and distancing increase the likelihood that the virus will continue to spread. We need a lot of caution, to move little, to be very careful when we meet someone outside of our narrow core. Are Covid Holidays, that’s with a lot of caution. “
Clear rejection also of the proposal that is emerging in these hours of loosening the travel restrictions.
Covid Italia: in January there will be no tipping point
Brusaferro’s severity goes hand in hand with the prediction that a January 2021 there will still not be that change in trend as expected.
The Director of Prevention of the Ministry of Health Rezza also said, again at the press conference on December 12: i vaccines will remain few in the first months of the year and therefore the behavior must be very prudent and subject to rules.
Professor Cauda, director of Infectious Diseases at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, has the same opinion. Interviewed by Il Messaggero, he explained:
“Today we have come 16,000 to 20,000 infections a day, with a percentage of cases in the tests that fluctuates between 9 and 12 percent. If there are distractions and relaxation these days, the great risk is that we will see the effects in mid-January. And this is a big problem because there will be third wave of Covid and the peak of seasonal flu: the same symptoms “
A Christmas-Covid, with strict rules, could save the rest of the year and really prepare us for victory over the pandemic. Are we willing to win this battle?
