"Tomorrow some indications will come out of the control room. It is clear that on the one hand bans and restrictions will be possible, such as masks outdoors and everywhere in Italy. The other novelty may be the advance of the third dose. We know that at five months the effectiveness of the vaccine decreases, maybe it will be possible to anticipate it or there will be the possibility of booking it for certain age groups.
Thus the Undersecretary of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, guest of Videolina.
"CHRISTMAS WITH YOURS" - Among Sileri's indications and advice for the upcoming holidays "Christmas 'with your', perhaps in as restricted form as possible. security that today we have learned to implement ".
SCHOOLS AND CLOSURES - Maximum attention to infections in schools, albeit according to the undersecretary "if there are ever so many infections or hospitals overloaded, the school is not the problem, but that's all the rest".
"When you have areas of the country that go from yellow to orange to red, the problem is the closure - the conclusion -. And not the closure or the delay of the school but the blocking in a certain area".
OMICRON ALARM - As for the vaccinated swab this morning Sileri had already recalled the need, before drawing conclusions, to "await the epidemiological data on the circulation of the Omicron variant in Italy", while specifying how "before the dinner the molecular would be preferable".
“A greater use of tampons - the undersecretary had once again underlined - has the advantage of reducing the circulation of the virus as much as possible by identifying possibly positive people who can trigger secondary infections and therefore other outbreaks. We must wait and evaluate what will be the prevalence of the Omicron variant in Italy first and then also borrow what is the experience, unfortunately, of countries that are experiencing an explosion of infections linked to Omicron ".
Being optimistic or pessimistic about the Omicron variant "is premature", although "initial data say that it is a more contagious variant and probably less bad from the point of view of lethality, but it is still too early".
