“There is no case of Campania, the number of infections is growing everywhere. It is the price for a summer lived too freely and regions like Campania, but also Lazio, which are lucky to have wonderful cities, splendid coastlines and coastlines. , they pay the highest price because they have attracted more Italian and foreign tourists. It is a national problem, which had been widely announced and anticipated and that as CTS and Civil Protection we are following very closely. However, I am optimistic because the National Service of Health, including Campania, is ready and doing everything possible. I am ruling out a new national blockade at the moment, but at the local level, we must be prepared. The school effect will be inevitable, but we are prepared. “
The words of. They are cautious but encouraging Agostino Miozzo, a doctor with extensive experience in Civil Protection and for months coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee (Cts), who warns: “The situation is under control, but it is forbidden to rest on your laurels, so compliance with the regulations must be absolute and maximum vigilance. There are no magic formulas, the virus tells us that no one is invulnerable, no one can feel safe.
Miozzo, the increase in cases in Campania and Lazio is scary and for days, experts have been talking about the possible school effect.
“The school effect will be there, it is inevitable, because 10 million people have been set up, including students and staff, plus the entire organization of families and transport. School by its nature is aggregation, which is the opposite of distancing. But the point now is to be ready and prepared to handle the situation and the effects. Be prepared to act immediately to isolate cases and stop outbreaks. I am not the advocate for ministers or politics, but never as today health and school are finally at the center of priorities after decades of neglect. The emergency requires radical changes in order not to succumb and they are taking place throughout Italy.
The boom in positives in Genoa puts the championship at risk and also puts the government on the ball: Deputy Minister of Health Sileri and Undersecretary Zampa yesterday expressed contrary opinions about a possible stop, what is your idea?
«I declare that I am a football fan and lover, but I am also in Civil Protection and we have a fundamental rule: in case of emergency you have to set priorities. The situation is in a precarious evolution, we are surrounded by countries like France with 14 thousand cases a day, we have the reopening of schools, with autumn and winter just around the corner with all the burden of flu and diseases. There are too many dangerous variables, we cannot afford to add a new variable like sports aggregation. And the same happens with all the aggregations, including musical or recreational in general.
What is the threshold that would trigger a new lock?
«For the moment I exclude the possibility of having a national confinement. But we must be realistic, Israel has been closed, France, Spain and England are not far from the conditions for a closure. Here, the data is still perfectly manageable, but be careful, because two weeks are enough to go from calm conditions to data of great concern. It is necessary to monitor territorial data, beds, local conditions, intervening with territorial closures, if necessary, to avoid closures at the national level. The control room of the Higher Institute of Health and the Ministry of Health are closely monitoring regional specificities, because each territory has different weaknesses. Situations vary from region to region. What one region can support in numerical terms is not analogous to another. The breaking point is the territorial level and it is precarious, it could be far, but also relatively close, therefore, returning to sport and all the events that under normal conditions would have a fundamental importance in our lives, at this time they do not have priority absolute. The priority now is health, school and essential services. Nowadays, 8 out of 10 infections occur in the family, that is why it is a priority to work at school and for school, so that everyone, especially children who believe in an invincible condition, feel involved in the fight against this sickness. Where common sense does not go, politics must go and I must say that I am confident because the regions, including Lazio and Campania, intervene clearly and precisely with regard to prevention and health management, with the courage to impose bans and strict rules if serving. The rules must be written, but they must also be enforced. In other places, abroad, they were not so good. Italy must be united in the effort, there are no more regions of zero contagion: the regions are essential and must be in solidarity with each other.
Miozzo, do we agree with tampons?
“The damping system is now consolidated. In addition, two days ago as CTS we approved the Health circular that approves rapid antigen tests, which will soon be usable in all regions. Commissioner Arcuri guaranteed the availability of 5 million rapid tests in a short time. I must acknowledge the gigantic effort of the Government and the Commissioner. We can’t just use the traditional molecular buffer because it would clog the system and the response times would be too long. It is unthinkable to block entire school groups or workplaces because in some territories times are still slow for traditional tampons.
He resigned from retirement and remained at the helm of the CTS. How is the climate in the committee, has there been talk of strong contrasts?
«It was once said, love is not beautiful if it is not a fight. We always fight and sometimes fiercely, but then common sense and a sense of responsibility always prevail. In 109 meetings we have never closed without having the positive opinion of everyone on the decisions.
Does the CTS agree with the extension of the state of emergency until December 31 as many have proposed?
“It decides the policy, but at the moment we have not been invested with this request. We are waiting for the numbers for mid-October with the effects of the school.
