ROME – The coming months of the emergency Coronavirus in Italy they could be characterized by a phase two to be managed with technological solutions being identified and by the risk of a second wave of infections.
When the number of positive cases has settled, preferably between the end of April and the beginning of May, a second phase will begin which could foresee a partial recovery of the activities, while in the health field more effective tests could be carried out. The Italian representative toWHO and adviser to the Minister of Health Walter Riccardi in reference to this second cycle of the emergency he said: “We are already thinking about phase two. We have started a series of activities, starting with the call from the Ministry of Innovation together with the Ministry of Health to implement the technological solutions that research institutes and companies can provide. They should assist us in a testing strategy for early symptomatics, clinically healed and healthcare professionals. And when the positives are found we want to make a technological tracing, so that we can have not a mass containment, but specific for the infected people and for their contacts“.
Riccardi he confessed how the next month will be crucial for an initial recovery in the country: “April will be the decisive month, only at the end of that month will we be able to understand how and what to reopen. We will move from a form of general containment to targeted measures. We will isolate those who are contagious with a widening of the tests, we will let others circulate, while maintaining spacing measures“.

There is a risk of a second wave of contagions
But there is a risk of a second wave of infections, after the strength of the epidemic has diminished. In fact, other countries, even close toItaly, they are traveling at different speeds, which is why more border checks should be made. Furthermore, it is feared that the Coronavirus may have a flu-like pattern with a new peak in the fall. A study of theImperial College London adds that it could also be a wave epidemic, two months of respite and then a return again, for at least a year and a half. It would be a huge risk that only the rapid discovery of a vaccine could ward off.
