The convocations for the meetings of the Technical Scientific Committee (CTS) and then of the control room with the Prime Minister Mario Draghi on the thorny issue of the green pass that will lead to the new anti-Covid decree to be launched this week with a "pass "enlarged and more stringent.
In this climate, finding the Italian way will require the Prime Minister's mediation and decision-making.
WHAT THE GREEN PASS INCLUDES -
The enlarged green pass - with the complete vaccination cycle and no longer with a single dose - should come into force at the beginning of August also to avoid color changes in the Regions and keep Italy white at least until halfway month. The certificate for immunized, cured of Covid or negative 'swabs' within 48 hours could also be mandatory for indoor restaurants, but there will be battle. Discounted that it is required for stadiums, swimming pools, gyms, concerts and all collective activities. According to forecasts, the new risk parameters for the Regions and the extension of the state of emergency should encounter fewer obstacles.
The policy is divided: the major partners of the majority have distant views on vaccines and the use of the green certificate. In a landscape that sees infections and the positivity rate grow with the Delta variant of the coronavirus, even if intensive care and ordinary wards do not worry. Controversy from the Lega di Matteo Salvini, who denies being no vax, remembers the vaccinated parents, but then evokes the 18-year-old son: "I refuse to see someone chasing him with a tampon or a syringe. Prudent yes, terrified no". And on the green pass he says: "" I read about fines of 400 euros if one has to do it to go and have coffee in the square ... in the meantime they land in cartloads in Sicily without ", the migrants.
If from the opposition Fratelli d'Italia with Francesco Lollobrigida advises the under 40s not to get vaccinated and the party marks the green pass of "hidden obligation", in the majority the Democratic Party with Nicola Zingaretti and Leu with Federico Fornaro speak of "irresponsible and ambiguous sovereigns ", inside and outside the executive.

The victims are only 3, at the lowest levels of the year.
