He epidemiologist at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de A Coruña (CHUAC) Antón Acevedo considers logical the exit measure of young children with all precautions. It specifies that they must even wear a mask, be accompanied by one of their parents and must not maintain other social contact. In her opinion,. it is necessary to start the de-escalation phase in line with other European countries, but always with prophylactic measures and thinking about the need for a cultural change in social relationships.
Acevedo believes that we are at the end of the first phase of containment and flattening of the pandemic curve. Now begins the second phase where We must be very strict to maintain a level of infection that is acceptable to the health system. The regrowth could be as virulent as in the first phase until a group immunity exists.
Antón Acevedo warns: “When we go by public transport, to a store, to the beach, we will have to take a series of measures that until now we were not used to taking, that will not be easy and we must be very attentive to that can be implemented in an appropriate way “
The expert from the Hospital Complex points out that it is too early to say that having the disease guarantees immunity. We are, remember, at the beginning of the natural history of infection. He insists that hand washing and social distancing remain the main preventive measures compared to gloves and masks. It is considered essential to have data by municipalities on the situation of the coronavirus to decide on the measures to apply in each territory, by communities, provinces or even councils.
