The chairwoman of the Technical Committee of Experts for Covid-19 and at the same time the Deputy Minister of Health and Social Protection, Mira Rakacolli, spoke about the situation of coronavirus in the country in an interview with ABC News.
You can find her summary interview on the main topics below:
Increasing the number of infected people under the age of 35:
"If you notice, the elderly continue to be protected. We have no sick people in nursing homes. That comes from protection. Young people make life more active [go through] beaches, cafes, hug more, stay close more. The bad thing is that we have had serious cases, between 30-35 years old. "
Has the virus changed:
"Many say that viruses mutate. The symptoms are the same, the aggression is the same. It is not true that it is easier than March. The situation remains unknown. We try to prepare for the worst case scenarios. Influenza vaccines will be given. There are theories that say there can't be two aggressive viruses at the same time because they're fighting each other. "
Will there be a reduction in infections:
"You know, people's behavioral assessments look like two weeks after the behavior changed. I very much hope that next week, we will have a reduction in cases. We need to think more globally. Let's open the trips for foreign tourism, let the tourists come. If the numbers go down, the borders will open. "
Negative buffer safety:
"The release of a negative tampon does not give you security. Tampons cannot be made every day, isolation must be respected and especially going out in public must be avoided. We have not yet learned the concept of community health. Large gatherings continue to be banned. The only thing that fell out of that order is the start of public transport. "
Rakacolli said the pools are not a safe place and should not have been opened during pandemics and added that at the moment, hospitals are facing the number of infected.
