Covid today Italy, Figliuolo: “Vaccine barrier works”

“The Omicron variant was a variable that upset the plans, the infections are many but they are also linked to many tampons made”. Thus the extraordinary commissioner for the Covid-19 emergency Francesco Paolo Figliuolo at half an hour more on Rai Tre. “The exponential growth of infections has been accompanied by a linear growth in hospitalization and intensive care,” he explained. A 25 times higher risk of intensive care for the unvaccinated. “If we make a comparison between the data of these days and those of last year, with a tenth of the infections, then we had many more hospitalizations and deaths. The vaccine barrier worked, we see that in the 120 days the barrier holds a lot “. Son, ‘extraordinary windows for vaccines over 50’ “At this moment on an audience that has been vaccinated of about 46 million and six hundred thousand we have done almost 23 million boosters. We as boosters are almost 50%. This places us in the very first places in Europe “.” The numbers are growing – underlined Figliuolo – also thanks to the introduction of the vaccination obligation. The obligation will push forward and just yesterday afternoon I issued a circular in which I tell the Regions to activate extraordinary windows for those over 50 so as not to alter the reservations already made “and then provide, where possible,” free admission without reservation “.
