However, despite the increase in infections, the mortality of COVID-19 is decreasing, especially in countries such as Italy, Germany and the USA. The risk is to encourage a further increase in infections with 2 major public health and bioethical issues. Therefore, in both cases there would be the medico-legal and ethical responsibility of the governments which -without yet knowing the reasons for this reduction in mortality, not having available vaccines or definitive therapies and without knowing the long-term effects of COVID-19 -have decreased the rigidity of preventive public health policies. Therefore, it will be essential to maintain high attention and not underestimate the increases in COVID-19 infections otherwise there is a risk that world governments will become accomplices to damage the health of all citizens. ./cache/cord-299656-iyb5r7e2.txt ./txt/cord-299656-iyb5r7e2.txt
