“The mask is also mandatory during the day in Lazio.” This was announced by the regional health advisor Alessio D’Amato, during the press conference this morning at the Lazzaro Spallanzani hospital in Rome on saliva tests. The provision applies to all people, except those under six years of age, to those with pathologies irreconcilable with the use of a mask and for the practice of motor and sports activities. The measure is added to the one already in force, of the obligation from 6:00 p.m. Anyone caught on the street without a plugged mouth and nose will be fined up to 400 euros. “We had already warned him if we had exceeded the Rt1 factor. We must rebuild together a path of responsibility as we have done together in recent months,” explains D’Amato. L ‘order, signed by Governor Nicola Zingaretti, will enter into force from tomorrow, Saturday October 3. “The mask is a powerful prevention tool to stop the curve and send the message that we must follow the rules, not to not live, but to live again in complete serenity and safety,” said Zingaretti. And she added: “At the moment we do not foresee forms of containment of commercial activities because we trust the measures taken so far, but, I say this addressing the owners, we continue to respect and enforce the precautions already indicated such as the measurement.
Salivary swabs in Lazio schools
The positivity that is currently behind the quick swabs performed in schools, as Alessio D’Amato points out, stands at 10 percent compared to those performed, with an estimated total of 290 cases so far. “These are figures that are within our expectations, contracts that are not carried out in school, but in extracurricular and recreational settings”, D’Amato emphasizes. And he added: “Thanks to Spallanzani and San Camillo, the saliva sampling project is started, especially suitable for children, which will come into effect together with rapid swabs for higher grade students, validated by molecular tests.” The saliva test is a different method than the pharyngeal-salivary, less invasive than the swab: it is performed by taking saliva that is then placed inside the test tube to be analyzed. In case of positive suspicion, it is sufficient and no swab is needed. We will start with the Integral Institute in via Crivelli in Rome and the one in Maccarese and Fiumicino which includes primary and secondary schools, with different complexes with thousands of students ”.
