Live on Radio Punto Nuovo, he spoke Walter Ricciardi, advisor to the Minister of Health Speranza and member of the WHO: “The whole country is working to try to gradually return to living as it once was. It is obvious that we want to limit the spread of the virus and crowded gatherings and environments are dangerous. At the moment we are remaining on fairly contained sides, especially in relation to other countries, so we can slowly foresee the return to collective activities. All scientists are working to support the government in making the best decisions.
1,000 people at the stadium? All people, depending on the space available, must have the spacing and masks. In Germany, a federal country, the government reiterated that it is a risk to welcome too many people. There are, however, presidents who concede the reopening of the stadiums: the circulation of the virus is increasing. We must be objective, we can also think of a greater number, as long as they enter the stadium, stay for the necessary time and leave in an adequate manner. With us, not these numbers, it is something that we can take into consideration. The reopening of schools was a priority issue, you could not leave the children on the street. The long closure began to threaten the psychophysical balance of our students. The schools were also opened following safety protocols. At first glance, the data are positive, but the guard must never be lowered: we will know better in two weeks, following the timing of the virus. I am optimistic.
A thousand people also for football? I am a scientific advisor, I play a role accordingly, but the decisions are up to the Government.
If they asked me to open up to a thousand people for the San Siro derby? I would reply that we were good at containing the virus, so it could open. For my part there is no prejudice, we share the approach before health, if it is protected, we can begin to consider solutions of this kind. Atalanta-Valencia was a moment in which 40,000 from Bergamo went to San Siro, celebrating four goals, with a viral explosion, earning the highest lethality rate in the world. Slowly we must return to normal, which we will certainly have with the vaccine, with caution. October and November will be difficult months, when the flu arrives it will be a problem. We all need to get vaccinated against the flu.
De Laurentiis? It was imprudent. “
