Compulsory green pass not only for indoor restaurants, but also for public transport such as buses and subways. This was suggested by Walter Ricciardi, full professor of Hygiene and Public Health at the Catholic University of Rome and advisor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. But what do other experts think? Andreoni “Using the Green pass to take public transport is fine, I agree with a proposal that aims to encourage vaccinations,” Massimo Andreoni, scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (Simit) and head of Infectious disease at the Tor Vergata Polyclinic in Rome, commenting on RicciardiBassetti’s proposal “The Green pass is certainly the tool to ensure greater safety for everyone. With 30-35% of the Italian population still not vaccinated” against Covid, “let people use public transport only with the Green pass is equivalent to putting the obligation to vaccinate. The Green pass makes sense to get on a train, a plane, a cinema, to go to the theater and restaurant indoors or to the stadium. But on the metro and on the bus it makes more sense to decide to impose the obligation, because the message to those who are not vaccinated is ‘stay at home’. “, underlines to the Adnkronos Health Matteo Bassetti, head of infectious diseases at the San hospital Martino of Genoa. If Ricciardi’s proposal “wants to be a provocative stimulus to get vaccinated, it is a proposal that I can also share”, adds Bassetti. We are in a phase where there is no certainty of the number of unvaccinated people, we can think of this type of measures only by planning them without excluding anyone a priori “, underlines the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco at Adnkronos Salute. lecturer at the State University of Milan, commenting on the proposal of the consultant to the Minister of Health, Walter Ricciardi, to use the Green pass also on public transport.
