Coronavirus, WHO: increase in cases is a risk for schools

"We are in a phase of slow growth in cases. The curve rises, slowly but steadily. And it may not take much to plunge back into the emergency". This is the opinion of Ranieri Guerra, WHO deputy director seconded to Rome to closely follow the Italian events and CTS technician, in an interview in Corriere della sera.
    The risk is "to get close to the reopening of schools with a number of cases that would make it very dangerous. Because it is mathematical that the curve with the return to the classroom would rise again. Then either we activate the brake or we crash. Italy by incidence of new cases are still queuing up compared to the large European countries. Let's look at what happens in France and Spain. However, compared to a few weeks ago, our country shows a sequence of many, too many small outbreaks that keep the circulation of the virus high ".
    "It seems that people have not understood how much we are in danger - he observes - it is now that we must act, afterwards it may be too late. It takes a flap of wings to return to criticality. As the cases of new positives accumulate the times of multiplication of infections are shortened.
    It means that the growth of the epidemic from slow becomes rapid and there is a geometric progression. We could "keep the situation in hand" if everyone showed a sense of responsibility by respecting the three basic rules. Mask, distancing and hand hygiene. We would still have time to go back, to change gear. Instead we see nightlife, crowds on the beach, young people returning infected from holidays and often spreading the infection in the family. No, no, that's not good at all ".
