After a year of pandemic, the question everyone is asking is: "When will we be able to return to normal?". In this regard, experts begin to make predictions. “We recently fine-tuned with the Higher Institute of Health e the Bruno Kessler Foundation a mathematical model to understand when we can return to a pseudo-normality. According to the calculations made, by vaccinating 240 people a day we will be able to return to normal in 7-15 months ".
This was explained by Giovanni Rezza, director of prevention of the Ministry of Health, during the hearing in the Senate Hygiene and Health Committee on anti Covid-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health, today they are registered 19.749 new positive cases (yesterday 13.902). The new deaths are 376 (yesterday 318). The discharged healed today are 12.999 (yesterday 13.893); altogether the new positive cases are 478.883 (yesterday 472.533). The swabs carried out are 345.336, the ICU patients are 2756 while they remain in home isolation 453.734 people infected with Covid.
Everyone's wish: to get back to normal
“Yesterday – Rezza underlined – there was the first meeting with the Health Commission of the Regions. I hope, by the day after tomorrow, to bring to the State-Regions Conference new recommendations on the 'target groups' to which the anti-Covid vaccination should be offered as a priority. Groups that could also include caregivers, parents of immunosuppressed children and community guests. Since we now have more vaccines available – Rezza reiterated – we must reformulate all the recommendations ad interim ”.
The updating of the indications of the categories to be vaccinated, explained Rezza, "will provide for greater flexibility". And also the possibility of extending the vaccination "To the figure of the caregiver. In particular, we think, for example, of parents of immunosuppressed children, who must have a priority in vaccinations. And, again, we think of the mentally ill and the disabled. "There cannot be a perfect vaccination plan - concluded Rezza - but what is needed is a very strong acceleration of the vaccination campaign".
