"I always ask for the utmost attention, there are clear rules, these rules must be respected, the mask is mandatory indoors, outdoors when there are risks of gatherings and not being able to keep the distance, the mask must be kept. everyone to make every effort to respect this approach ".
The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, said this on the sidelines of a visit to the Gemelli, answering the question whether carousels and gatherings of the celebrations for the Italian victory at the European Championships worry.
"As you know, we monitor all the data on a weekly basis, we expected an ascent, this ascent is underway with lower numbers than in the past, as we have always done we will rely on our team of technicians who will continue to do this verification work, let's see step by step as things go on, what is certain is that the real weapon to close this season is the vaccination campaign, we must insist on vaccination ", replies Speranza to the question whether new restrictive measures could be studied after the increase of RT and the diffusion of variants.
"These are all ongoing evaluations but in the meantime I want to say that at the moment there are 26 million Italians who have downloaded the green pass, it is an extraordinary figure", underlines Speranza, answering a question about the problems that arose with the green pass, since that administration of a single dose of the vaccine is believed to cover only 30 percent of the Delta variant.
