With the arrival of the cold months and permanence indoors, even without considering the possible emergence of variants capable of ‘undermining’ Omicron 5, the viral circulation is destined to increase, Cartabellotta points out. “And at the moment, despite the recent reassurances of the minister Schillaci in the Chamber, to date – affirms the president of Gimbe – all the ‘discontinuity’ actions by the Meloni Government have gone in the opposite direction to that suggested by the international public health authorities: that is, to be prepared and ready to face any new waves. The preparedness plan for the winter season is therefore expected from the Executive as soon as possible“.
