Covid: Italy meritocracy, ‘green pass extended to 120 hours’

“As the date of entry into force of the mandatory green pass in public and private workplaces approaches, the concerns of companies are growing. From 15 October workers will be required to undergo continuous screening. Given the high number of non vaccinated, on the organizational level chaos and blocks are feared due to the frequent number of tampons needed “. This was stated in a note by Walter Mauriello, president of Meritocrazia Italia. “In a moment of recovery, in which it seems to slowly return to normality, it is important to maintain adequate levels of prudence. But it is also necessary to find a reasonable point of balance between the (albeit priority) needs for health safety and those for the efficiency of work activities – underlines Mauriello – The incubation times of the virus vary from three to five days. There are therefore no impediments to the solution of extending the validity of the green pass from a quick antigenic swab from 48 hours to 96 hours. The duration of the swab molecular could be increased instead to 120 hours “.” The measure would greatly favor the organizational commitment, without any prejudice in terms of health security. Italy meritocracy – highlights – considers the extension of the duration of the green pass a necessary solution, especially in ‘White’ regions, with a lower rate of contagiousness and with a reduced number of hospital admissions, subject to assessing variations ni in relation to the incubation times of any variants. That the determinations of the moment do not end up surreptitiously shifting every commitment to be borne by citizens, especially given the choice not to take responsibility for the introduction of a vaccination obligation “.
