"The first thing to overcome today, also given the current situation, is the rt index that we are going to evaluate today".
This was stated by the president of the Conference of the Regions,
Massimiliano Fedriga
, who considers it unreliable, speaking on Sky Tg24. Alternatively, for Fedriga "an index to be taken into consideration is the hospital rt: it makes us understand if requests for hospitalization increase or decrease and it is an indicator that can give an important signal, and that does not give a distorted vision". "We will have a comparison as Regions with Commissioner Figliuolo" to verify the possibility that a person vaccinated with the first dose can be given the "second dose on vacation - Fedriga then announced -. We are seeing if it is possible to organize this, we are working but we are facing the greatest campaign in the history of humanity. Many things can be solved, others are very difficult, there may be some discomfort ".
"
I believe that the commissioner must favor those Regions that are respecting the given targets and we have also exceeded them
", said the vice president and councilor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region,
Letizia Moratti,
at the end of her visit to the Vimercate hospital, commenting the request made yesterday by Governor Fontana to have further AstraZeneca doses should they be refused in other regions. "In Italy less than 1% of vaccinated people reject AstraZeneca - he added - also because our doctors explain to them that this is a safe and effective vaccine". "On the agenda of the next Health Commission of the Conference of Regions, which will be Wednesday,
there will be the issue of the possibility of being able to vaccinate people who move to other regions, even for holidays
"." We in Lombardy have vaccinated all the people who work in our territory, so - he added - I think it is desirable that the same possibility can be given to people who move to other regions or for holidays or for other reasons ".
Meanwhile, yesterday the 500,000 doses of vaccine administered in one day in Italy were again exceeded, according to the Emergency Commissioner.
To be exact, at 4 o'clock this morning, 501,236 doses were administered.
