(ANSA) - Rome, March 20 - There is a high risk of the
coronavirus epidemic returning after it has run its course
first, an expert told ANSA Friday.
"The risk of a return of the COVID-19 epidemic, even after a
period of absence of new cases like for the comune of Vò Euganeo
(in Veneto) exists, and it is high," said Pier Luigi Lopalco,
professor of hygiene at the University of Pisa and epidemiologic
chief of Puglia's coronavirus emergency task force.
In the case of Vò, he said, "the report of a new case after
days of absence, could be linked to the movements or the weight
of people without symptoms".
