Green pass Italy and yellow zone, today Cdm on a new decree

The Council of Ministers is convened at 17 today. The meeting will be anticipated by the control room with Prime Minister Mario Draghi at 3 pm On the table of the comparison with the regions, which will continue today, remains the issue of the mandatory green pass, in addition to the definition of the new parameters to establish the passage in the yellow zone and the extension of the state of emergency. At the end of the Cdm, the premier will hold a press conference at the Multifunctional Hall. Ministers Roberto Speranza and Marta Cartabia will also speak. Palazzo Chigi communicates it. Read also Regarding the mandatory green pass, one of the hypotheses is that of the release with a dose of vaccine for all indoor places including restaurants. “The Green pass would untie many knots in many everyday situations that are blocked today. Discos are closed, is it better to open them with the Green pass or keep them closed? I would say that it is better if they are open with the Green pass. In hospitals there can be much more visits to loved ones thanks to the Green pass “, underlined the Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, at ‘Italy has awakened’ on Radio Cusano Campus. However, fibrillations remain even within the majority about the mandatory nature of the green certificate. For the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, the obligation to vaccinate teachers and school staff “is not necessary”. “Today 80% of the teaching staff is vaccinated, in September it will reach 90%. So the coverage is fully guaranteed. I am for the explanation, the conviction, the education never for the coercion, the dismissals, the fines. In a time of economic crisis, with millions of workers at risk of losing their jobs, with VAT numbers, professionals, traders and craftsmen in difficulty, how can we talk about layoffs, displacements or closures? “, Highlighted the Northern League leader, guest of ‘Agorà’ on Raitre. “I read of an increase in infections, I would also like to read that the number of ICU patients has decreased. One hundred and fifty-six beds occupied out of 8,400 available, less than 2%. ICUs are empty, why don’t journalists talk about it? a good information service “, remarked the Northern League leader. “When I hear about the vaccination obligation for children of 12 years or less, I say calm, let’s not joke with the lives of our children and grandchildren”. The Regions, for their part, ask that the parameters for decreeing the transition from the white to the yellow zone, with all the limitations of the case, provide for 30% of the beds occupied in hospitals and 20% in intensive care. But above all they ask that in the white zone the green pass is only applied to major sporting and entertainment events, discos, fairs and congresses. In summary, use the green certificate to allow the resumption of activities not allowed until today. But the government – with Draghi in the lead and with the exception of the League – demands more to stop the virus run, which thanks to the Delta variant has returned to scare. Distinguishing the activities on three levels: the essential services that do not require a green pass, those that provide for a ‘light’ version – therefore a single dose with an already fixed and close date for the second – and finally the list of activities for which the green certificate must certify complete vaccination. The distance with the Regions is tangible, difficult to shorten. For bars and restaurants, for example, the government wants to introduce the green pass, even if only for the tables inside and even with a single dose, leaving free drinks at the counter or outside the restaurant. And this also in the white area: a stance that makes the governors turn up their noses and then there are the stages, from now to September, that the government intends to indicate to make the use of the green certificate more stringent, thanks to the return to school as well as the return from the August holidays. And that in the last few hours he would not have excluded, according to government sources, the obligation of a green certificate on public transport starting from mid-September. Yet another difficult knot to unravel, on which the confrontation, in these hours, has gone on tightly enough to lead to a postponement as on the school: the decision on bus and metro should be taken later and not in this decree.
