Our team has recorded an interview with Vittorio Colizzi, Professor of Immunology at the University of Rome "Thor Vergata" ( Università di Roma Tor Vergata ), holder of the UNESCO Chair in Interdisciplinary Biotechnology.
The professor explained the current situation in Italy, why China succeeds in fighting the virus, and what European health care can learn from Africa.
Vittorio Colizzi says that a person infected with coronavirus develops immunity, but the exact time of its action is not known yet. However, given the general nature of the viruses, all those who became ill with COVID-19 are clearly protected from the second wave, which may occur in November or December.
Summer, he believes, has helped to reduce the number of cases as people are spending more time outdoors.
As long as there is no vaccine, isolation and self-isolation remain the most effective methods to fight the virus. The professor called for avoiding large crowds of people, such as concerts or football matches.
