As well as the swimming outfit and flip-flops, this summer
holidaymakers should also remember to pack their facemask and
hand gel to avert the threat of the nation having to face a
return of the COVID-19 epidemic in the autumn.
That is the spirit of a video published today by the Higher
Health Institute (ISS), which shows how even traditional summer
activities can be carried out in safety.
"Fully enjoy the summer without neglecting the rules so we don't
go back," read an ISS statement.
"This is the message that the Higher Health Institute (ISS)
researchers are sending to citizens, especially young people,
recalling in a video the essential precautions to combat the
virus, which make it possible to have safe holidays without
doing away with the conviviality of summer'.
The video, which uses the hashtag #pernontornareindietro
(#sowedon'tgoback), flicks between images of 'safe' holidays to
messages about the key rules - social distancing, the use of
mask, washing hands - while pointing out that , even if the
virus is circulating much less, it is good to continue to be
cautious.
The message is conveyed by three young ISS researchers: Flavia
Riccardo, an epidemiologist from the infective diseases
department; Alberto Mateo Urdiales, a researcher from the same
department; and Maria Luisa Scattoni, the director of the
National Autism Observatory.
