“The curve clearly shows us a declining situation and this is a positive sign, but it should not allow us to let our guard down.” This was said by the president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Silvio Ironbrand, at the press conference at the Institute on the epidemiological trend of the epidemic.

“The image confirms the scenario of the last days and gives us indications of the effectiveness of the measures. The positive signs should not let us down our guard. The actions taken are important, but we must not deceive ourselves that the situation is resolved. The measurements are essential to keep the curve, when it will have fallen, below the threshold of 1 for infections, “added Brusaferro.

Immediately afterward, the President of the ISS released some data on the spread of the epidemic. The average age of death for Covid-19 is confirmed “around 80 years, mostly men and with multiple pathologies.” And “deaths occur 2 to 5 weeks after infection and this means there is a very long carryover. This is also one of the reasons why we continue to see a significant number of deaths.”

The Superior Institute of Health announces that the Lombardy Region confirms the “positive trend” of the epidemic data “, but the number of deaths in the RSA for the elderly arises. In fact,” 1822 deaths in the RSA of the Region “. While also in the regions in the south, the numbers “although limited, are falling”.

Brusaferro then stopped to clarify once again the doubts on the subject of masks, defining this important protection, but remembering that “by itself it is not enough”. To protect ourselves from contagion, we need a set of measures, which include very important, in addition to social distancing, hand washing and environmental hygiene. ” It is important to understand what the transmission routes are, “he added. Ironbrand – but it is also important to understand which transmission route determines the most probable transmission of the infection. “

Until April 13, nothing will change, the restriction measures remain the ones decided in recent weeks and all eyes are focused on the curve of infections while more than 15 thousand deaths are mourning.
