The measure could take off “at the beginning of December”, as anticipated by the PA minister Renato Brunetta, confirming that the hypothesis of “rewarding” the vaccinated by now “is making its way into the Government”. On the other hand, the hypothesis of compulsory vaccination remains frozen (except as a last resort).
Fontana a Government: super-Green pass for vaccinated and cured
Quick measures, limited to a certain group of people. A Green pass that allows activities only to those who have been vaccinated or cured. There must be no inertia: the important thing is to protect the safety of the openings, the continuity of commercial and entrepreneurial activities and protect those who have done their duty, respecting the requests of the State. This, in short, the intervention and requests of the Lombard governor, Attilio Fontana, during the meeting of the Regions with the Government.
Study restrictions for no vax
The super Green pass is a decision that, explained the president of the conference of the Regions (as well as governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia) Massimiliano Fedriga, will on the one hand “convince even the last undecided” and on the other “give certainty to businesses, to which we cannot say “let’s see in what area you will be and whether you will keep it open or not” ». “If we do not intervene – he stressed – the result is that if a Region passes in the orange or red zone it is closed regardless of all”. The rules in force in fact provide for the closure of bars, restaurants, cinemas, theaters and gyms in the orange area. And also some shops in the red zone.
Super green pass in the orange and red zone
The government seems to be moving in the same direction requested by the Regions. “Should there be an orange transition of some Region, since this measure would automatically provide for a whole series of restrictions such as the closure of restaurants in the evening as well as cinemas and theaters, in this case we must put in place a system that gives the possibility to those who have been vaccinated to be able to continue to take advantage of these freedoms ”, Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa anticipated to Rainews24.
The changes coming this week
If the super green pass could be triggered in December, the government should approve new anti-Covid measures this week. On the program there is a control room and subsequently a Council of Ministers, which (probably on Thursday) will issue the decree with the new rules. Among these: the advance of the expiry of the current green pass (from 12 to 9 months); the obligation of the third dose (now bookable for all over 40s) to healthcare workers and employees of the RSA and perhaps other categories, starting with the police, PA employees in contact with the public and teachers; the reduction of the validity times of the buffers (the molecular ones from 72 to 48; the rapid ones from 48 to 24 hours). The advance of the third dose has been confirmed starting from the fifth month to further accelerate vaccination coverage.
