SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, July 4. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The spokesman for the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians, Lorenzo Armenteros, warned this Monday that it is entering “the eighth wave” of Covid-19 after passing “a seventh almost ghost”.

“Although we do not have data on most of the positives, due to coronavirus, because we only know the incidence in people over sixty years of age, the cases that we see in consultations, the new cases in young people and the cases that could be added from self-tests that patients do, we would be in an eighth wave”, argued Armenteros.

And already an eighth because, he clarified, “an almost ghostly seventh wave has passed, disappeared because there was not enough data, so epidemiologically we would be in an eighth wave.” “That peak that is occurring in the last two weeks could indicate that there is a new wave in the making and it is already beginning to rise,” the spokesman for family doctors added.

The doctor from Lugo has warned that “delegating security to citizens is complicated because they are very tired, there is pandemic fatigue and people want to enjoy the summer, the crowds, but this gives rise to a large number of infections,” he warns.

One aspect that he particularly emphasizes is that the “characteristics of the variants are different; thus, B A-5 is highly infectious and the symptoms are greater.” “The symptoms are greater and require going to Primary Care consultations and a greater hospital admission. The variants are not the same and should not be treated in the same way,” he has sentenced.

Lorenzo Armenteros has stressed the need to continue “using masks indoors, on public transport and when there are crowds.”

Finally, he has appealed, in turn, to the use of face masks “in solidarity, in such a way that when you have any respiratory symptoms, use the masks.”
