Covid, Ricciardi: 'I hope for measures to tighten the issue of the Green pass'

"We don't need a lockdown for the unvaccinated," said Walter Ricciardi,

consultant

, on Radio Capital's 'The Breakfast Club' show. "Austria made this dramatic choice because it was late with vaccination coverage", he added, saying that in Austra it has "incidence rates ten times higher than ours". For Ricciardi, moreover, "our government has taken timely decisions, even if they do not make us completely safe. There are too many unvaccinated people, we are talking about seven million Italians".

"I hope there is room to convince people, even by tightening the measures for the issuance of the Green pass"

, said the consultant to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, on Radio Capital's 'The Breakfast Club' broadcast. "We are now releasing it following elaborate indications in Europe when the Delta variant was not yet dominant," he added, also noting that "cases will increase next week, precisely because the Delta variant is much more contagious. One infected now infects six or more. seven people. We need to increase the number of vaccinated people. " 

"The antigenic pad is the Achilles heel of the Green pass," said Walter Ricciardi, consultant to Health Minister Roberto Speranza, on Radio Capital's 'The Breakfast Club' show.

The rapid antigen test, he found, "at best does not certify the positivity of at least 30% of the subjects. The swab is an inadequate measure in this epidemic phase."

2021 "will be a better Christmas because compared to last year we have an extra weapon which is precisely the vaccine",

explained Ricicciardi again.

According to Ricciardi it could be "a more peaceful Christmas, in which we will be able to see not only our closest loved ones, but also our friends".

The requirement of vaccination against Covid-19 does not serve and could trigger a debate that would divide the country, for children it is expected to recommend the administration of the vaccine.

 The vaccination obligation "is useless, it would open a very bitter debate in Parliament and - he observed - would divide the country rather than unite it. Nobody thinks about the vaccination obligation for children, vaccination will only be recommended for them".

"To date, no further restrictions are necessary: ​​it is sufficient to enforce the existing rules. However, if the situation of the spread of the virus in some regions were to worsen, up to the orange zone, it is clear that the price of any closures cannot and the vaccinated do not have to pay ".

This is what the Undersecretary of the Interior Carlo Sibilia writes on social media.
