(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 16 - "In countries like Italy and Greece we are getting very close to the peak" of the Micron variant.
The director of WHO Europe Hans Kluge said at 'half an hour more' on Rai 3, underlining that it is "very likely that the peak in Europe will arrive sooner than expected", that is "within 2-3 weeks".
Kluge then praised the strategy of the government and the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza against the pandemic.
"The road followed by Italy is the right one, with vaccinations, third doses, masks", he said, then underlining that "schools must be the last to close".
