I am worried as a doctor that there are more and more elderly patients," says Sostar, emphasizing that it is time for new measures. "On Monday, we will start proposing new measures, these are outdoor masks. The mask is not a problem to be worn continuously. Italy has managed to suppress the second wave of masks," Sostar said.
