"For months we have been explaining to people to get vaccinated to avoid the tampon, because in this way he wears armor for himself and for others. Imposing the tampon in a generalized way would risk undermining this message. And it risks not being the right solution".
There is also Alberto Cirio among the perplexed governors about the obligation to test for vaccinated or recovered from Covid which is being discussed
. "That the swab becomes an ordinary measure for a vaccinated person with a super Green pass to live their sociality contradicts all the work done", adds the president of the Piedmont Region to Rainews' microphones.
"I will do everything to reduce any type of restriction as much as possible, trusting in the seriousness of the people, who will respect what is said to them": this is
the commitment of the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana
. "I am of the opinion - he explained to 'Buongiorno' on Sky Tg 24 - that everything must be done to reduce the danger that comes from infections but to reduce any form of restriction as much as possible. Our citizens have suffered a lot, economic activities they have suffered a lot, but above all our citizens have behaved well, both in respecting the rules and in undergoing vaccination, so I believe that our citizens at this time cannot be subjected to further restrictions ". As regards the hypothesis of the obligation to wear a mask outdoors in the white area, Fontana said that "we are thinking about it, we will see what the evolution of our data is". "It is a measure that we are thinking about even if - he concluded - I do not think it is so decisive,if people respect the rule, as they are doing, of wearing a mask as soon as there is a crowd, and always indoors it is clear that the cases in which you can move without a mask are those in which you walk alone, it is a quite secondary hypothesis.
Ffp2 masks on buses, canceled street parties and New Year's Eve without big concerts or fireworks
. Pending the decisions that should come from Palazzo Chigi, the Italian regions are running for cover and anticipating the government's moves by launching territorial tightenings to contain the contagion from the new Omicron variant. And so
from Lombardy to Sicily, governors and local administrators sign ordinances and measures to avoid the increasingly dangerous gatherings by extending the restrictions already in force along the shopping streets, particularly crowded during the holiday period, to the whole territory
.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi, yesterday, explained that "we still have to work and be careful: this week in the control room we will review any measures in view of the Christmas holidays. Nothing has been decided yet. on Wednesday or Thursday sequencing data to see "how the Omicron variant progresses.
The
Lazio is preparing obligation of outdoor masks everywhere
and not just in crowded places. In the order of President Nicola Zingaretti, which will come into force on 23 December and will last for a month, the use of type Ffp2 protections on public transport will also be recommended, where the obligation is already in force. In
Rome
, where the traditional New Year's Eve concert was canceled, some streets could be cordoned off to avoid crowds and channel the outflow of tourists and Romans who crowd the streets of the center: on Saturday, for example, a stretch of Via del Corso was temporarily Closed.
In other cities such as
Padua, Treviso and Venice, fireworks have also been prohibited
. The provision of the mayor of
Milan
, Giuseppe Sala, who was the first to introduce the obligation to use masks in downtown areas,
will remain in force until 31 December
. But the mayor said he was ready to extend the measure across the city. "Let's see how it goes, if needed we can do it - he said -. I am always in contact with Moratti and with Fontana, we will do what they tell us and we will do it as always without waiting too long and without lulling ourselves into too many doubts and thoughts".
A strict tightening is the one decided by the president of
Campania
, Vincenzo De Luca, who has banned parties in the square both at Christmas and New Year's Eve. Stop even at school, graduation and birthday parties in indoor clubs which - said De Luca - "continue irresponsibly". The governor also called for "serious" controls instead of the "inadequate" ones of recent days. In
Naples
, the new mayor Gaetano Manfredi signed the ordinance a month ago for regulating the one-way pedestrian street of via San Gregorio Armeno, the street of the artisans of the famous crib shepherds.
In
Veneto

Among the new provisions, the president also ordered the suspension of the returns to the family of RSA guests and the mandatory tampon every 4 days, instead of 10, for health workers.
In
Turin
, where the mandatory outdoor mask has been reintroduced, the Christmas market in Piazza Castello has been skipped while in
Bolzano it
has long been decided that the traditional Christmas fair can only be accessed with a bracelet and Green pass.
Bologna has decided to give a "signal of caution" by canceling the Concertone in piazza Maggiore.
But in
Emilia-Romagna there
are many other cities that have made the same decision.
No parties in the square in Parma and Reggio Emilia, while Rimini, orphaned of the concert, will maintain widespread events in the city and DJ sets with admissions probably limited.
In
Florence
, finally, they are triggered pedestrian unique ways in the busiest shopping areas.
