Italy is beginning to question the Covid emergency in relation to refugees arriving from Ukraine, a country in which only a third of the population is vaccinated and only 1.5% have received the third dose.
The alarm was launched yesterday by the infectious disease specialist Matteo Bassetti: "Unfortunately, very little are vaccinated in those areas, and the less vaccinated population are precisely women and children, those who are moving at the moment", the guest told Di Tuesday on La7.
“Attention - he added - because war is always the best ally of infectious diseases and the situation in which the refugees are today is the best for a possible new variant. No distancing, no masks, no vaccinations, no hand washing. It is important to help these people, but let's not forget the health aspect ”.
Draghi today replied to a question on the matter during the question time in the House: "On the health front - he said - the refugees will either swab every 48 hours or agree to get vaccinated".
