Vaccini, Sicily is not enough for Confcommercio: “This will take too long”

PALERMO – Although Sicily just yesterday was the first region of Italy for the number of vaccine administrations, Confcommercio Palermo, with its president Patrizia Di Dio, raises the alarm on the progress of the vaccination campaign in Sicily, closely connected to the issues of the reopening of commercial activities.

“So far we have only read partial data. From today, however, we are doing a daily countdown to monitor the end date of the vaccination campaign, the only data that interests companies. Our ‘countdown’, despite taking into account the average of the last week which is the best (12,677 vaccines per day), reveals that just to complete the first dose in Sicily it would take another 271 days. That would be December 23, 2021. Who knows when we will be able to return to normal with the completion of the second dose “, he explains .

“There is only one data we want to know – Di Dio asks -, that of the real end of the vaccination campaign: no one has yet told us when it will end. It is clear that entrepreneurs and traders cannot wait without knowing the date of the return to normal. . We insist on asking for more adequate support to be provided immediately to businesses and let’s say enough to stop further periods of forced closure, the result of irrational, confused and therefore often unfair provisions. Work for a quick and safe reopening of all commercial activities that, between the other, as has been demonstrated, are certainly not places of spread of the infection because they rigorously apply safety protocols “.
