We can laugh, sing and dance, in open spaces and with all the care.
If we do it in closed spaces, without ventilation and without a mask, we expose ourselves to becoming infected.
Our commitment is to inform to strengthen prevention and care.

“We really need to prioritize riskier activities, activities in closed places, for a long time, with close people, without masks, carrying out intense actions such as speaking loudly, such as shouting, singing, laughing, or talking, coughing or sneezing without covering up mouth with the elbow crease: these are activities that, even if the person who is with us has no symptoms, may be incubating the virus, we can be part of the transmission chain ”, explained Vizzotti.
He did so, after recalling that more than 10,000 cases of coronavirus were reported in the country on Wednesday night, a figure that is growing day by day.
The intention of the Government, through the Ministry, is to warn the population of the risks of social encounters, now restricted throughout the national territory due to the increase in Covid-19 infections.
