This was said by the virologist from the University of Padua during a television interview, underlining how a new and possible blockade “could reset the system, lower the transmission and, when resuming, increase the contact tracing and the capacity of buffers.” in the territory “
The figures for our country, linked to coronavirus infections, continue to indicate a growing trend and experts debate it, posing hypotheses for future scenarios. “A confinement at Christmas? It’s in the order of things. “This is, for example, the idea of Andrea Crisanti, a virologist at the University of Padua, who analyzed the Italian health emergency, speaking during the in-depth program” Studio 24 “, broadcast by Rainews. “Perhaps a blockade at Christmas could restore the system, lower the transmission and, in the resumption, increase the capacity of tracing contacts and swabs in the territory,” he explained, considering that “now the system is saturated with these numbers.” In Italy, according to the latest bulletin that emerged yesterday, October 13, 5,901 coronavirus infections were registered, compared to 112,544 swabs. The ratio between positives and tests performed increased to 5.4% and the total number of hospitalizations (255 more than 24 hours before, 5,076 in total) and intensive care (62 more than 24 hours before, for a total of 514) also increased.

Crisanti then spoke again about what could happen between now and the next fortnight. “I fear 10-12 thousand cases a day,” he commented. And speaking of the new Dpcm, which among other measures provided for the use of masks also outdoors, strongly recommending their use also within private homes in the presence of people who do not live together, the virologist explained that the impact can be carefully evaluated “in two weeks. ” They are, the expert explained, “common sense measures, which have an important impact on the quality of life,” but, he added, “we must focus on what is the capacity we have in the area to block transmission.” Crisanti wished then not to find himself discussing “10-12 thousand cases a day” in a couple of weeks, also given the numbers of the last days. “As cases increase, the ability to trace contacts and swabs decreases and we enter a vicious cycle that increases the transmission of the virus,” he concluded.
