The trend of the epidemiological curve at the moment in Sardinia does not remain worrying, it remains on average under 50 infections per day and it is thanks to "the vaccine efficacy and the containment and distancing measures adopted in the past that we are enjoying today".

Word of Ferdinando Coghe, new medical director of the Aou of Cagliari, former director of the Services department and director of the Analysis Laboratory of the Duilio Casula Polyclinic and of San Giovanni di Dio.

The identikit of the newly infected: "Not vaccinated in different age groups and all those who expose themselves without respecting the measures".

However, the unvaccinated run the greatest risk: "They are generally the ones who end up in hospital, the vaccinated represent minimal percentages and even if they end up in hospital they have an attenuated symptomatological picture".

In Cagliari, Sergio Marracini, the medical director of the head offices of the capital, explains, “we have one or two admissions a day to the hospital from 29 October to today. The average age is around 60 and out of ten hospitalized patients three are vaccinated and seven are unvaccinated. And during our meetings, however, pluripathology often emerges in the vaccinated patient who ends up in hospital ".

The Delta plus variant has not yet been sequenced on the island: "But considering that international travel has resumed and that passengers on flights with Great Britain are not screened, the risk that it may arrive is not remote."

Coghe also proposes to reconsider the use of antigenic tests to obtain the Green pass: "It has a considerably lower sensitivity to identify the infection, the rules of use should be reviewed with regard to activities and the Green pass".
