Speaking during the “We are Genoa” broadcast on Telenord, Professor Matteo Bassetti returned to the Covid-19 case in Series A: «Each individual reacts differently to the virus, regardless of age: on average, the period of negativization is ten to fifteen days. Some Genoa players will be negative from next week, so they will be able to return to training too because the quarantine of players is shorter than that of normal citizens. Being optimistic, I say that Griffin will have herd immunity for the next few months of the championship.».

«Stop Serie A? Soccer is an integral part of our country, coach Roberto Mancini is right. We are talking about an industry that generates great profits. However, it was reasonable to review the protocol by providing, for example, a seven-day quarantine with an output buffer. I remember that PSG played a game with seven positives at home. We must learn to live with this infection, not only from a football point of view: Covid-19 is now more manageableBassetti adds.

«The ASL has power over national quarantines and protocols. The Napoli players did not respect the protocol because once in contact with a positive they had to enter the famous “bubble”. The ASL cannot block a game, but decides that some players cannot move from their territory. The ASL of Genoa has respected the FIGC-CTS protocol, as the Lombard ASL did for Milan, taking into account that it could stop the flight from Genoa: there is a conflict of competences between the Regions and the Ministry and health is a matter of competence of the Regions»Explains the virologist from San Martino.

«The ASL of Naples should be punished because it creates a dangerous precedent. Football has its own rules and these must be respected, bearing in mind that the protocol can be criticized from a scientific point of view ”, says Bassetti.
