ROMA. A heated debate today between the government and the Regions on the measures to contain the pandemic, from quarantines to the possible new count of Covid cases, to the color system.
Significantly change the color band system for regions evaluating the casicovids only among hospitalized patients who developed the disease and, therefore, without including asymptomatic patients hospitalized for other pathologies.
According to what we learn, this is one of the hypotheses that emerged at the table attended by technicians from the ministry of health – among them the director general of prevention, Giovanni Rezza, and the president of the Higher Health Council and coordinator of the CTS, Franco Locatelli – and those of the Regions, gathered today for a first meeting.
In addition, a slowdown on the reduction to 5 days of quarantines for symptomatic positivesi because they are missing, to date, sufficient scientific evidence, e remodeling of the contact tracing with the aim of focusing it on the symptomatic given the high numbers of infections.
These, according to what has been learned, are the points on which a first sharing was reached today in the table between the ministry and the Regions, which is now updated to next week to arrive at final operational decisions.
Availability, moreover, to an update for the count of admitted positives, not including those who entered the hospital for other pathologies.
“With the other presidents we talked about abolishing the colors of the regions, this is no longer the case, I talked about it with Fedriga. The colors are of little use, on this we are almost all in agreement “, he says, guest of Un Giorno da Pecora, on Rai Radio1, he is the governor of Molise and exponent of Forza Italia Donato Take.
The undersecretary of health Andrea Costa (Noi conItalia) also agrees, now that there is the super green pass, in an interview with the Corriere della Sera stressed that we must start a path with the Regions for overcoming the “colors”.
He says this in an interview with Corriere della Sera, in which he explains: “There is an audience of 90 percent of vaccinated people. Faced with this, the generalized color system no longer makes sense. The only criterion that must remain is that of the red zone “.
“The color system, when the policy is that of vaccinations, and when one is vaccinated regularly can circulate, does not seem to make much sense anymore”, said Eugenio Giani, president of Tuscany.
“We will make – he adds – requests to the government in a logic of simplification”, including that of “stop with these colors”, because “who realized – he continued – that we are in yellow? It made sense when there were relative measures mobility, but today they are measures relating to the mobility of the unvaccinated “.
