Measures to change. Not one but many. The CTS is already reflecting on the possibility of making weekly the monitoring of the Ministry of Health on new positives, hospitalized and victims. The Regions are ready to ask for more. Given the obvious impossibility of tracing due to the high number of infected people due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, only the symptomatic cases would be considered. remove the end quarantine pad for those who have no symptoms and review the rules for elementary schools. Republic reports the probable contents of a letter from the Regional Councilors addressed to the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the Ministry of Health.
They should be considered cases only symptomatic positivity as also indicated by the European Center for Disease Control. This would greatly reduce the daily count because symptomatic positives are 30% of the current positives. The next step would be to remove restrictions, particularly quarantine, on the asymptomatic positive if fully vaccinated.
Among the proposals there would also be that of do not count how many are hospitalized for another pathology and then it turns out to be positive. Lombardy has already decided to distinguish the admissions.
All Regions reported that contact tracing is skipped with these numbers and also the tampons must be reduced. It would be necessary to remove that of the end of quarantine for the asymptomatic and also those for elementary school where there is a double swab for everyone in the event of a positive.
That of the Regions is a search for an alternative way of an emergency that is changing. From December 27 to January 11, the new cases exceeded two million and the victims were 2,948, up from 7,576 a year ago. With the Omicron variant and thanks to vaccines, infections have grown by 750%, but deaths decreased by 61%.
It is these data that are leading many to think of a change in strategy such as the one hypothesized by Spain: more flu-like attitude and monitoring, an endemic and non-pandemic disease. According to the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez “we must evaluate the evolution of Covid from the pandemic situation experienced so far towards that of an endemic disease”. For experts it is a viable way, but for many it is still too early.
Control would be based on sentinel hospitals, not on an exhaustive count of daily cases as is already the case with the flu. The World Health Organization is waiting because the spread of the Omicron variant has not yet stabilized and the virus is still evolving.
