Francisco Caamano, epidemiologist: “It is a mistake to relax the restrictions now” | Radio Galicia

The president of the Xunta, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is already thinking of easing the restriction measures but the experts consider that it would be a mistake, the epidemiologist Francisco Caamaño He believes that by continuing along this path we will only be able to enter a loop of climbing and de-climbing.

An unforgivable mistake. The behavior of the virus is better known, and the effective strategy is also known. Social distancing, mask, hand washing, and restrictions that prevent social contacts.

In the opinion of this epidemiology expert, it makes no sense to speak of the plateau phase, or to monitor the contagion curve practically to the minute to ease the restrictions as soon as possible.

Francisco Caamaño believes that a confusing message is sent to the population, that the situation improves, when it is not. If restrictions are lifted, infections will soar again. He believes that the current restrictions in Galicia should be maintained beyond February 17.
