Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of the Mario Negri Irccs Pharmacological Research Institute, spoke of the risk of one second wave of Coronavirus “It is difficult for it to be like what there was. And even if it were, I would not call it the second wave, and in any case it will not resemble the previous one. All over the world the things of February, March and April have passed”. “More than a second wave I would speak of the possibility that here and there there is a resurgence of the disease that we must be able to stop – he added -. I would rather speak of a virus that moves in a pejorative or better sense depending on local circumstances that can also be dramatic “, for example if he were to enter the RSA. With regard specifically to Lombardy, the Italian region hardest hit since the beginning of the pandemic, Remuzzi stressed that the circulation of the virus was higher then “is now more protected“.

The councilor for Welfare, Giulio Gallera, replied on the subject, explaining that the “The number of tampons in Lombardy is high, on average 20 thousand and 80% of the positives are asymptomatic. The diagnostic tools we have at our disposal do not allow us to do more. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità is not clearing through customs, or does so very minimally, the quick texts that do not require a laboratory. When we have faster tools, we will be able to do much more tracking. ”
