Among all that is happening, the Delta variant is the one that is scaring people the most day by day. So far no official case of infection with the new variant of Covid-19 has been confirmed, but the Director of the IPH, Albana Fico said that there were unusual signals in the samples.
"The Delta variant has affected 104 countries around the world. In the IPH laboratory we had unusual sample signals. We isolated these samples and sent them to Germany. We are waiting for the answer. It would be reckless on my part to I said we have it. The figures we are talking about are not of that level. The Delta variant is well studied. We are in front of a variant that circulates abundantly in the world. "When the measures are eased there is a history of explosion. It's not just Delta circulating. We need to be vaccinated," Fico said in an interview with Abc News.
Another dilemma of people, given this situation is the fear of another possible closure. So far the chances of facing another quarantine are low.
"No, we do not anticipate it, but if there are changes in the numbers and such deteriorations that will require a reassessment of the measures, we will definitely reassess them. We are focused on continuing with the vaccination, respecting the plan. We are prepared for dealing with scenarios of a situation that is different from this.There may be a third wave but its amplitude may not be likely from what we experienced in November or February.There is a detailed responsibility for all "Scenarios, capacity building. The document will be complete, the whole system will be prepared."
