Omicron is not said to be the last known variant of the coronavirus, moreover "we have learned a lot but we do not know everything about Covid, it has often surprised us in these two years, so we must be very careful". These are the words of Andrea Ammon, the 63-year-old director of the European Center for ECDC diseases who also warned on Rai Radio1: "The pandemic is not over, it is likely that this Covid-19 will remain with us".
On the measures to combat diffusion, Ammon added: “If there is a change of approach to the measures, it will be up to the countries to decide. Currently we see a huge difference between the situations in Europe ", while on the masks:" If you want to achieve a reduction in contagiousness you have to keep them in places where there is no distance, therefore indoors. Then the mask in my opinion is not a measure invasive ".
The most important thing to do at the moment is to "improve the sequencing to detect variants of the virus as soon as possible".
