Lopalco, asymptomatic cases increased

(ANSA) - BARI, JUNE 11 - "What we are noticing in recent weeks is an increase in asymptomatics" in Puglia, also with "more than 90%" of the cases. Professor Pierluigi Lopalco, epidemiologist at the University of Pisa, head of the Apulian task force for the Coronavirus emergency, declares it to Ansail. The professor tries to give an explanation for this increase in asymptomatics compared to the first phase of the pandemic: "The virus - he claims - is currently circulating especially in the younger population, this is a reason".
   Precisely because of the increase in asymptomatics, the task force has decided to increase the number of swabs: "We are doing many tests - continues Lopalco - today almost three thousand, although there are no active focuses. This is because we are trying to protect, in particular, hospitals, making tampons not only to the healthcare professional but also to patients who enter for hospitalization ".
