There is a need for caution
on the pandemic .
Ecdc says that the pandemic is still ongoing
even if in Europe it is much better. The many cases of omicron have not turned into hospitalizations thanks to the vaccination campaign:
we are at 91% of first doses among the over 12.
Today
we are bending the curve
, and without having to pay a high price for closures "This was said by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, on the program 'Half an hour more' on Rai3.
"91% of people over the age of 12 have been vaccinated
and this has allowed us not to have incredible pressure on hospitals. Even if only 9% are unvaccinated, that 9% produces the majority of cases in hospitals and intensive care units. . It must be said that the reopening that we are allowing is thanks to the vaccine, "said the Minister of Health.
"If I am outside in a park or walk down the street without risk, I remove
the mask
but the norm I signed says that the mask must be kept with you and if there are gatherings it must be worn. The mask has been a fundamental tool in these months and still is:
they should always be worn indoors and outdoors they should be worn as soon as there is an element of risk
, also for common sense ", said Speranza.
"We have worked alongside the scientific community in these two years - continues Speranza - and this will not change, then we will evaluate the technical modalities regarding the CTS when we arrive under the deadline of March 31 for the state of emergency, but the government will continue to have close relationship with the scientific community. On the CTS there are no decisions taken but we will evaluate the technical modalities ".
