“The mid-August lunch? Surely in the open air, there is less risk” than indoors, despite the Green pass. The virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, professor at the State University of Milan, says this to time.news Salute. Obviously, adds the virologist, “in the hope that there are still many vaccinated, of course if we all have no-vax around … it’s a bet. Me? I’ll spend it in a mountain hut”.
“The Green pass – he explains – does not give the certainty of not getting infected, nothing changes, attention must be continuous and one must not let one’s guard down”. “The only element – clarifies the virologist – is to know that you are more serene, but you must continue to adopt the new etiquette” made up of hygiene, distancing and “absolutely essential mask, even in the restaurant, except for the time you eat. “.
“Right now to focus on young people who must absolutely be vaccinated because the Delta variant of Sars-CoV-2 is a problem that affects them and all of us”, says the expert, commenting on the youth plan announced by the extraordinary commissioner Francesco Paolo Figliuolo to intensify anti-Covid vaccinations in the 12-19 age group.
Among the boys, Pregliasco recalls “often there are asymptomatic cases, with consequent difficulties in tracing and isolation”, which makes it more difficult to stem viral circulation. “So I would say this option that strikes with vaccination is welcome.” And “welcome” also the preferential lane hypothesized by Figliuolo in the hub where the boys can go without an appointment. “This I believe – concludes the virologist – that it can facilitate”.
