Virus still circulating
From Cartabellotta, therefore, an invitation to caution: “In our country, viral circulation is still very high and the contagion curve has started to rise again. We hope that the government’s decisions will be informed by scientific evidence and the epidemiological situation and not by the spirit of emulation of other more ‘daring’ countries, where, moreover, not only infections but also hospitalizations have started to grow “.
In particular, he concludes, “as regards the green pass, the obligation can lapse immediately where the risk of contagion is low (outdoors, in uncrowded, well-ventilated and short-term indoor places), while it must be kept in high risk closed rooms.
The obligation to wear a mask, at the moment, must instead be maintained in all indoor places, taking into account both the extreme contagiousness of the omicron variant – in particular the BA.2 – and the unknowns relating to the extent of the rise in the contagion curve. and its potential impact on hospitals “.
