“We are trying to avoid the worst and I believe these measures are important.” He said it Ranieri Guerra, deputy director of WHO, to DiMartedì on La7. On the trend of the contagion according to Guerra, the curve «is not growing much, but it is constantly growing. The contagiousness index is exceeding 1, an index that must be eliminated ». Then the revelation on autopsy: «We also found scars in the heart and liver, a disease not to be underestimated».

Should the situation worsen, closed schools and universities? “I hope not,” replied the member of the scientific technical committee who works alongside the government. “We are in a phase of cluster concentration, at the moment we identify them, we know how to find them,” he added.
Compared to April “the curve grows and the number of cases involving hospitalization grows, but the clinical response has changed. We have drugs that we know how to use, moreover the median age that we see growing is lower than that period “. «The risk is that young people returning home become unwitting vehicles of contagion. I hope that the elderly at home, especially grandparents, will be able to protect themselves with a mask, ”explained Guerra.
«This disease started by affecting the lungs in a serious way, but now we understand that it can affect the body anywhere where there is weakness, it is a disease not to be overlooked. The consequences are dangerous, in autopsies we also see scars in hearts and liversHe stressed.
