Immunologist Alfredo Corell warns of the essential element to prevent Covid-19 infections at Christmas dinners

The immunologist Alfredo Corell points out that there may be multiple causes why Covid-19 infections spread quickly in some areas of Spain such as the Basque Country. Rule out genetic predisposition as cause of increased cases and points out that proximity to France may be behind since “France is worse off than ours“.

Think of the flu you have to be vaccinated regardless of Covid and qualifies the last campaign as “a success”. “The third dose of the vaccine has been essential in people who have had low defenses. Hospitalization is increasing and severe cases are being supported well with the vaccine. The consequences of the December bridge remain to be seen,” he explains.

Encourage citizens to hold Christmas gatherings as protected as possible and that they incorporate into the mask, the safety distance and ventilation a previous test. Recognize that the tests are not infallible but they are a sufficient screening method. “Let’s try to stop this rise between us,” he says.

Regarding mass meals, he points out that in these meetings as business lunches “We are going to remove the mask for a long time, it may be that we do not have the safety distance and if we add that the place is not well ventilated we have the perfect moment for a super spread.” Therefore, it recommends decrease the number of people as much as possible and not meeting with very vulnerable family members.

“Time is important and if instead of 3 hours of meeting we have one and we reduce the times that works in our favor,” he adds.
