Towards new quarantine rules. Today the CTS met to provide an opinion
, then the control
room chaired by Prime Minister Mario Draghi
with the heads of delegation of the majority. The Council of Ministers is convened
at 18.30
after the control room on Covid. On the table, according to what is reported by various sources,
also the extension of the Super Green pass obligation to all workers, strongly requested by the governors of the Regions
.
No quarantine days for booster vaccinated people who come into contact with a person who tested positive and are employed in essential services.
However, they will have to wear the Ffp2 mask for about a week.
According to what has been learned, this is the orientation of the CTS.
And again:
reduction of the quarantine to 5 days and a buffer for vaccinated with booster dose
- not employed in essential services -
who come into contact with a person who later tested positive
. In the case of positives, a 7-day quarantine (instead of the current 10 days expected) and a negative swab will suffice.
THE REGIONS 'REQUESTS TO THE GOVERNMENT - Lighten and change the contact tracing system, clearing the quarantine for vaccinated with boosters who have come into contact with a positive and, in these cases, swab only those who later turn out to be symptomatic.
This is what the governors asked in the context of the Conference of the Regions, also sending a document to the CTS on these aspects.
"We will
ask the
government
for the introduction of the Super Green pass in the workplace.
", Argued the governors.
Yes to a reduction in the quarantine for the vaccinated, but with caution. This is the reflection that the consultant to Health Minister Roberto Speranza, Walter Ricciardi, makes with La Repubblica
. "The reduction of the quarantine for vaccinated with three doses is fine - he declares - but there must be a very precise analysis on what this means in terms of virus circulation". Omicron's playback speed is "impressive," Ricciardi notes. "This wave will be the most impressive from a quantitative point of view - he explains -, fortunately it will not have the same impact as the previous ones from a health point of view". Currently "we are in the mitigation phase - explains the consultant -, in which we need to lower the curve. In the meantime we have to vaccinate day and night". The third anti-Covid dose "is protective against Omicron and acts almost immediately after administration," adds. Public Hygiene expert believes "that the curve returns below 50 weekly cases per 100 thousand in February ".
