In Bologna the agendas of pharmacies are already full of appointments until December, and also in Naples there has been a surge in requests to undergo tampons in view of the entry into force of the Green Pass obligation in the workplace.
An increase in requests found throughout Italy, but which pharmacies say they are ready to deal with, as stated on the Federfarma website.
"The demand has increased, pharmacies are organizing themselves to meet the requests - notes the president of Federfarma, Marco Cossolo - Pharmacies have made themselves available to carry out swabs since the beginning of the health emergency from Covid-19, also before the norm that established a controlled price. 7,500 out of 9,000 pharmacies have signed up to the memorandum of understanding and in these days further adhesions are expected ". The data collected shows that pharmacy agendas in Bologna are already full of appointments until December, and many people prefer to book early in the day, before going to work. "Pharmacies - declares Achille Gallina Toschi,president of Federfarma Emilia-Romagna - are gearing up to organize and manage the greater flow of the next few days, confirmed by the sharp increase in bookings. We are able to withstand the impact. "
Even from Riccardo Maria Iorio, president of Federfarma Napoli, reassurances arrive.
"I hear talk of 'alarms' for lack of tampons: I can reassure Neapolitan citizens that in participating pharmacies they will not find any difficulty in administering tampons".
Pharmacies are preparing by extending service hours and setting up new spaces, and in some smaller centers, they will offer the service even during closing hours.
