Covid Veneto, Zaia: “Let’s not risk the yellow zone”

Veneto does not risk passing into the yellow zone for covid infections: no new rules are in sight. Governor Luca Zaia explains it. “In the short term there is no risk of passing into the yellow zone, but we cannot let our guard down. With these data we will not return closed in the house. But the risk always exists: that of restrictions, of a change of color in the area. today it is an automatism: we could find ourselves closed suddenly, so we avoid being restricted because we pull the rope too much “, he says. “Vaccination gives us a clinical effect: among the vaccinated there is less chance of having symptoms or, if there are, they are mild. The vaccinated people admitted to hospitals also certainly do not dominate in intensive care units, where they excel instead. the unvaccinated, “he says. The governor of Veneto compares the data for today and November 10 last year. On 10 November 2020 in Veneto, in the face of 50 thousand swabs, 2763 positives had been identified (with an incidence of 5.47%) and 210 people were hospitalized in intensive care, while 1700 were hospitalized in medical areas. Today, with 84.7% of Venetians vaccinated and 84 thousand swabs carried out, 931 positives have been identified (with an incidence of 1.11%) while there are 57 hospitalizations in intensive care and 273 in non-critical areas. ” Citizens ask us if the lockdown will return. I reply that at the moment with these data no. There is debate on the restrictions decided by Austria for the unvaccinated, but it seems to me impracticable under our Constitution “, says Zaia. “The choice of the Green pass was made precisely in this direction: to avoid differences in treatment of citizens. And we are not evaluating such measures”, he therefore assured.
