“The vaccination obligation for over 50s remains until 15 June, including a penalty of 100 euros for those who have not been vaccinated. The assessment we are making is to verify the opportunity – while maintaining the vaccination obligation until 15 June – to anticipate the possibility for those over 50 to go to work with the basic Green Pass (instead of the reinforced one), ie by taking a quick swab every two days. A hypothesis that could give the possibility of returning to work for those who do not is vaccinated and also to ease the tension “. This was stated to ANSA by Undersecretary for Health Andrea Costa.
“There is still no precise date – said Costa, speaking to Radio Anch’io, on Radio1 – but the hypothesis is to bring forward the date of June 15”.
“In the next few days a time schedule will be established and a phase of gradual easing will begin from 1 April. There will be situations in which the green pass will no longer be necessary, for example for bars, restaurants and other outdoor venues. I certainly believe this from April. it will no longer be necessary. ” Then we will proceed with “other easing” and I believe that “by June we will have a scenario that will allow us to reach summer without restrictions”, added Costa.
“There is a slight increase in infections, not only in Italy” but also in other European countries. “However, it is not significant until we see an increase in hospitalizations, which for now is not there.” This increase “is likely due to Omicron’s sub-variants, one of which is more diffusive than Omicron itself”. And “it occurs mainly among unvaccinated people, in all age groups, mainly adolescents”. So on Mattino 5, on Canale 5, Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, who added: “The increased circulation does not translate into an increase in hospitalizations, so the situation is frankly under control”.
