Someone says let’s put the masks back on, I say absolutely no. These microorganisms must circulate and have always circulated, we must protect ourselves but how? For example, we have lost a lot of coverage for pneumococcus, pneumonia vaccination, but also those for flu”. So at beraking latest news Salute Matthew Bassettidirector of infectious diseases at the Policlinico San Martino hospital in Genoa.

The flu curve “will continue to grow because this is only the beginning”, warns the infectious disease specialist. “Today the incidence is very high among children children, but where adults and then grandparents will arrive.
