(ANSA) - MILAN, 09 MAR - The superintendent of La Scala DominiqueMeyer has decided to launch to the government is an "appeal not only for laScala but for all opera, prose and concert halls".
"If we want to reopen Italian theaters - he tells ANSA - there is a unique solution: deciding that all artists who cannot wear the mask, such as singers, choristers, prose actors, horns, dancers, are vaccinated".
The proposal comes after 45 artists and workers tested weakly positive in the usual anti-videotapes in the theater, only to be negative (all except two) on the control pad.
We're doing an investigation to figure out what happened.
But something like this shows that we are fragile, "he adds.
A situation of uncertainty despite the utmost caution.
At La Scala, the protocols were developed with the director of Infectious Diseases of the Giuliano Rizzardini Sacco hospital, and include regular swabs.
For the most at-risk workers, those who cannot use the mask as horns and singers, it is a molecular swab every two weeks and a rapid one per week.
So far about three thousand tampons for a cost of two hundred thousand euros.
And that of La Scala is not the only case of a false outbreak.
The same happened on the set of the Gucci film with Lady Gaga in Gresoney where of 16 positives found, then only one was confirmed.
Hence the appeal to find a definitive solution, namely vaccination.
"If we want to reopen the theaters, and this is important for the health of the society that needs them - he concludes - we must create safety conditions" for the workers.
