‘Intensive care already overloaded. Beware of transportation »- Corriere.it

Agostino Miozzo is the coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee. All measurements pass on your table before being approved. And even in these hours, the CTS has been consulted on all the points to be included in the new Dpcm.
It has long drawn attention to public transport. What should be done as soon as possible?
Avoid concentration peaks of travelers. We should have acted locally long before the opening of schools with 10 million people on the move.

How much does the return of children to class affect the circulation of the virus?
“Recent data tells us that schools are places where the circulation of the virus is limited, certainly thanks to the introduction of the prevention measures adopted by the minister: mandatory masks, distancing in the classroom, hygiene. The hours that our children spend in school are in a relatively safe context, they take risks before entering school and when leaving ”.

How do you hold yourself accountable without penalizing your life too much?

The opinion of the CTS experts alone is not enough to make decisions of a general political nature.

There is a serious problem with diagnosis and traceability. How to intervene?
