"There is no obligation to show up for boarding with a certificate of negativity because the order only refers to an invitation, but there is an obligation to undergo a molecular or antigenic swab in Sardinia within 48 hours of disembarkation. if the required certification has not been presented ".
The Councilor for Health of the Sardinia Region, Mario Nieddu, clarifies this to ANSA about the latest order of President Christian Solinas which provides for tests for those arriving on the island.
"So much so that - he explains - the measure imposes fiduciary isolation until the result of the swab is obtained".
And if, once in Sardinia without a certificate of negativity, you refuse to swab?
"You remain in isolation until you leave - explains the commissioner - you are in fact obliged to comply with an order, you can also challenge it before the Constitutional Court if you believe that you are violating your rights, but in the meantime you must comply , otherwise the penalties provided for by law are met ".
On the other hand, concludes the health councilor, "it is not clear why Lazio can do it and Sardinia cannot: in Lazio, when you arrive from Sardinia, they give you a tampon, willy-nilly"
WHAT THE ORDER PROVIDES
- The governor of Sardinia Christian Solinas has signed the new restrictive anti covid ordinance.
From 14 September, passengers entering the island are "invited" to present a certificate of negativity to the virus when boarding ships and airplanes or to self-certify that they have tested negative in a serological, molecular or antigen test.
In the absence of this they "accept" to carry out a swab within 48 hours of arrival and to communicate the result to the local health authorities.
The same ordinance immediately imposes the obligation to wear masks 24 hours a day even outdoors in cases where it is not possible to respect the distance of one meter.
Passengers without the test on departure who agree to swab in Sardinia are obliged to remain in fiduciary home isolation pending the results of the exam.
The invitation to test for those entering the island does not apply to certain categories: those who carry out activities functional to constitutional bodies, crews of means of transport, personnel traveling on trains and airplanes for work and health reasons.
All passengers before boarding are in any case required - and the ordinance reiterates this - to register with the forms that can be downloaded from the Region's website, and then transmitted electronically, or through the secure Sardegna app.
Finally, in view of the reopening of the schools, which kicks off on the island on 22 September, with the latest provision signed by Solinas, the occupancy of seats on local public transport is increased to 80%.
