Green pass, tampon boom. Sileri: “Extraordinary screening”

70

The obligation to green pass throughout Italy for certain places, activities and means of transport fueled a certain discontent that culminated yesterday in some protests, which however resulted in a flop: after the turmoil on social media, very few people actually went to the railway stations . The Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, who spoke at Radio Cusano Campus, stressed that green certification is not “an indirect obligation to get vaccinated” and underlined a positive effect of the obligation even in those who have not undergone the vaccine.

Green pass, the effect on tampons

For Sileri, the green pass “is health safety because it allows forms of aggregation that were previously impossible, in safety, but it is also a extraordinary screening work, as those who do not have the vaccine must swab to get the green pass. And thanks to that tampon, which otherwise the person would not have done, we discover many cases. And there are many who are discovered positive thanks to this “.

So for Sileri there is a positive aspect of the green pass, which must not necessarily be seen as an incentive to vaccinate but also as a useful tool to identify new positives.

And in fact, according to data from the bulletins of the Ministry of Health, the swabs carried out on a daily basis are increasing, perhaps precisely because those who have not undergone the vaccine resort to the test to have the green pass.

Federfarma: “50% increase in requests”

On Sole24Ore, the president of Federfarma Marco Cossolo in fact, he confirmed: “We have registered an increase of at least 50% in requests for tampons since the mandatory green pass was introduced”.

Also at Radio Cusano Campus, Sileri also recalled that the third dose of vaccines will probably be administered starting from October, “for frail patients, for those on dialysis” and for other categories of people “for example the very elderly”.
