Unvaccinated lockdowns, Locatelli: “Not practicable in Italy”

The lockdown for unvaccinated is not practicable in Italy. Professor Franco Locatelli, coordinator of the CTS and president of the Higher Council of Health, at ‘half an hour more’ on Rai3 discards the hypothesis of specific measures for citizens not vaccinated against the coronavirus. “The practicability both in concrete and operational terms and in terms of compatibility with constitutional rights is somewhat problematic, so I do not think it is a solution that can currently be proposed in our country. It may have its own medical rationale, but the measure does not it is considerable “, says Locatelli. “The situation in Europe is critical but Italy clearly stands out: we must not underestimate any warning signs but neither should we abandon ourselves to alarmism, because Italy, together with Spain and Portugal, is the best in Europe”, he says. . “At Christmas there are still many days to go, but it will certainly be a Christmas characterized by greater sociality”, he says again. vaccinations, not abandoning the masks and also with the contribution of the green pass “. Comparing yesterday’s data with those of November 6, 2020, now “we have 6,746 cases yesterday, a year ago we had almost 38 thousand, yesterday we had 31 very painful deaths but on the same day of the previous year there were 446, we have less than 400 beds employed in intensive care compared to the 2,500 of last year. It is clear that all this is due to the protection conferred by vaccines “, he explains. In comparison with the two countries in terms of population similar to Italy,” we have the population is almost 78% vaccinated and we are 5 points above Germany and 3 and a half points above France “, concludes Locatelli who reiterates that the” main road “is to continue vaccinating. former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on January 31, 2020 and then extended by the current Prime Minister Mario Draghi. As foreseen by article 24 of legislative decree 1/2008, the duration of the national state of emergency cannot exceed twelve months and can be extended for no more than a further twelve months. For this reason it is not possible to extend it beyond January 2022 without legislative interventions. “If the government, and the decision is entirely political”, had the intention of extending the state of emergency “it needs normative-legislative measures to be able to extend it further”, that is, it would be necessary to change the law. “I am a lover of this type of information, but it has not been discussed at all, I tell you about my honor”, says Locatelli.
