Make workplaces even safer, from the point of view of personal health, and encourage the government’s long-standing vaccination campaign. This is the philosophy on which the new decree approved by the executive is based, which makes the Green Pass mandatory on all jobs, public and private, and which will enter into force on October 15 until December 31 2021 (deadline for termination of the state of emergency). The one for the extension of the certificate obligation in all workplaces is “a decree to continue to open the country,” said Prime Minister Mario Draghi during the CDM.
This is a measure that actually involves 23 million people: “The novelty is that it is a universal strategy, we are going to touch the whole world of public and private work and for the dependent and autonomous private sector,” explained Renato Brunetta.
In the press conference at the end of the CDM Andrea Orlando reiterated that those who refuse to obtain the certificate will be sanctioned, but that the suspension must not lead to dismissal. “There can be no penalty for dismissal for those who do not get the vaccine or do not swab and decide not to use the green pass. The sanction is in the suspension. At the end of this season, the ordinary dynamics will resume and everyone will return to their jobs ”, says the Minister of Labor.
With the obligation of the Green pass «we want to make workplaces safer, and make the vaccination campaign even stronger. An even more significant use of the green pass will help us even more », Health Minister Roberto Speranza said at a press conference.
Roberto Speranza gave clarifications on the validity of the swabs. “The government has expressed a favorable opinion on an amendment to the provision under consideration in the Chamber which extends the validity of green passes with molecular tests to 72 hours while for antigen tests the validity remains at 48 hours”, explained the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza specifying that “molecular tests require longer laboratory times”.
On work from home Orlando explained that it will not be governed by the guidelines “but will be regulated before the expiry of the derogation from the legislation that was brought to December 31 by a possible regulatory intervention or by a framework agreement between the social partners which is the which I hope “. “We need to know how to use smart working after the surge in its use during the pandemic,” underlined Orlando.
