From 6 August the Green pass it will become mandatory in the restaurant and in the gym. It now seems certain that Prime Minister Draghi will also choose safety for students, in view of returning to school. Certificate therefore necessary for teachers and all school staff. The last word tomorrow, when it comes to a new decree in the Council of Ministers, following the control room. The Green pass will be mandatory from 1 September, provided there are no last-minute twists, even to board trains and planes. Local public transport still in question. Health Minister Roberto Speranza is cautious when he says that “Gradually we can get there, but we proceed one step at a time”, even if he is convinced of the need to extend the certificate to as many activities as possible. But not everyone in the government agrees.
Salvini: “We need prudence and common sense”
Yesterday the leader of the League said that “There will be a Council of Ministers this week, I heard Draghi. There are real problems, such as those of families with children who leave for the holidays on Friday, and that if the rules do not change they will eat in a restaurant and leave the bowl. with the leftovers out for the children aged 13-14-15. So I say: prudence, yes, but we ask for common sense “. Salvini also said he was against a possible vaccination obligation and sanctions. Yesterday the League filed a Social Affairs commission in the Chamber 916 proposals of modification on the 1,300 total amendments. The control room will meet tomorrow in Montecitorio with the heads of delegation of the various parties and the heads of the Technical Scientific Committee, Locatelli and Brusaferro. Then it will be the turn of the meeting of the ministers Gelmini and Speranza with the governors. Finally, it will be up to the CDM to take stock of the situation. The new decree could start together with the previous one, effective from 6 August.
Green pass
To obtain the certificate it is necessary to have at least one of the necessary requirements: to have received at least one dose of vaccine, to have undergone a negative swab in the last 48 hours, or even to be cured of Covid. From Friday 6 August the green certificate will be mandatory to be able to sit inside a ristorante, excluding hotel guests, to access gyms, spas, swimming pools, cinemas, theaters, stadiums. Wherever there is a risk of crowding. Perhaps it will also become mandatory for congresses, events and conferences.
School staff and students
The Draghi government seems entirely willing to abandon distance learning once and for all. Back to school therefore in presence, always using the spacing or masks where the safety distance between students is not possible. As for doctors and nurses, the green card may also become mandatory for school staff. Among the teachers, according to the calculations, 82% should already have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 79% both inoculations. According to the prediction of the extraordinary commissioner Paolo Figliuolo, students between 12 and 19 years old and those between 20 and 29 years old should be fully vaccinated by September. If this were the case, the obligation of a Green pass would not be necessary for them as well. In the coming days, a communication campaign should arrive designed specifically to convince parents to vaccinate their children. Only in the red or orange areas will the mayors themselves decide whether to close schools and resort to dad.
The green card enters Montecitorio
The Green pass will also come into force for Montecitorio. Deputies must in fact respect the rules that apply to the entire population. From Friday, therefore, to access events, press conferences, competitions, the Iotti library and the archive, it will be necessary to have the certification. The decision was taken in agreement with the College of Quaestors. Certification will therefore also be required for the cafeteria, therefore, for catering services with consumption at the table. “I had announced it in recent days: the Chamber adopts measures to counter the spread of the epidemic in line with what was established by the national health authorities. It applies to these new measures as well as to the previous ones adopted in over a year of managing the pandemic” reiterated the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico.
The price of tampons
Another point on which the government is working is that relating to the price of rapid tampons which could go from the current 22 euros to 15, if not 10. The governor of Friuli Massimiliano Fedriga explained that in the protocol of General Figliuolo it is foreseen “a halving and for certain categories, such as minors, it will be further reduced and there will be a contribution from the state ”.
On the day of tomorrow, the ministers Speranza and Orlando will meet the labor unions to reach a point of understanding on protocols and vaccinations in the workplace. In the next decree there should be no obligation to green pass, as Cgil, Cisl and Uil are afraid that it may be taken as a ploy by employers to dismiss or demotion.
