 With 2022 comes yet another update of the anti-Covid measures, to deal with the fourth wave of the virus and the spread of Omicron.

Here is the calendar of news, in light of the latest measures and those that will soon be launched.

- JANUARY 1, CHANGE THE QUARANTINE.

From January 1st, no quarantine, but only self-monitoring for asymptomatic subjects who have received the booster dose, or have completed the primary vaccination course in the previous 4 months, or have recovered from Covid in the previous 4 months, who come into contact with a positive person . However, you will be required to wear the Ffp2 mask for at least ten days. The self-monitoring period ends on the fifth day. Those who have been vaccinated for more than 4 months, if asymptomatic, will have to do a 5-day quarantine in these cases. No changes for those who are not vaccinated: the quarantine remains at 10 days.

- 3 JANUARY, HALF ITALY IN YELLOW.

Lombardy, Piedmont, Lazio and Sicily are added to the list of regions in the yellow zone, namely Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Marche, Veneto and the autonomous provinces of Bolzano and Trento. The gradual transition of various territories to yellow, an indication that infections are starting to weigh on the numbers of hospitalizations and the employment of intensive care throughout Italy, in some cases is seen as a prelude to orange, given the progressive increase in positives. The latest decrees have effectively canceled the old differences between the white and yellow areas. In both, the mask is mandatory outdoors, but there are no restrictions on movement and all activities remain open. The rules on the green certificate and on the reinforced certificate apply in general.

- JANUARY 5, THINK OF THE SUPER GREEN PASS FOR WORKERS

- The decree that provides for the obligation of the Super Green pass to all workers could arrive in the Cdm on January 5, after the vaccination obligation already foreseen for health, police forces order and teachers. Some political forces, in particular Lega and M5s (albeit with different reasons), are however opposed to new measures on this front and mediation could be reached, starting with the obligation of the green certificate initially strengthened only for public employees who they do front office work, then gradually with other categories. The issue remains open and even if the first knots are dissolved on the 5th, any provision of this type will come into force no earlier than February.

- JANUARY 6, THE STADIUMS AND THE SERIES A RESTART AT 50% OF CAPACITY

- Serie

A restarts

and, given the latest decree, the maximum capacity of the stadiums will be allowed a maximum of 50%, so for all sports facilities at the open like the sports halls, as early as January 1st.

For those indoors the maximum capacity must be 35%.

- JANUARY 7, THE SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN WITH NEW RULES

- We go back to school in most of Italy, even if in some territories the date for the restart has been postponed regardless. In any case, the profs will have to wear the Ffp2 masks. However, the quarantine system and Dad for students could also change, following the proposals of the Regions made to the Government. Given the start of the vaccination campaign for the 5-11 age group, also for elementary schools and the sixth grade - as is already the case for high school - the hypothesis is to predict, in the case of two students positive results in a class, only self-surveillance (5 days) for vaccinated children and 10-day quarantine with Dad (the latter case where applicable) and tests at the end of isolation for the unvaccinated. In the schools ofchildhood would remain the ten-day quarantine for all with a swab with only one positive case. The proposal would have found several points of agreement by the Government and these new measures could be decided shortly.

- JANUARY 10, IT IS ALMOST LOCKDOWN FOR NON VACCINATES

- The enhanced green certificate will be mandatory everywhere, except in shops and for essential services.

Therefore, the squeeze on non-vaccinated people starts, decided with the latest decree: the Super Green pass will be mandatory to get on trains, buses, metro and all other means of transport, eat in outdoor places (as well as in indoor ones , as already foreseen), to enter hotels, go to fairs, ski lifts and many other places for socializing and entertainment.

- 10 JANUARY, THE BOOSTER CAN ALSO BE MADE AFTER 4 MONTHS

- The times for administering the booster become shorter: it will be possible to receive it after 4 months, instead of 5. But these are not mandatory times.

- 1 FEBRUARY, THE SUPER GREEN PASS LASTS SIX MONTHS

- The duration of the green certificate obtained with the vaccine is shortened, hence the 'enhanced' version. Those who have received the last dose to immunize (i.e. the end of the first cycle) or the booster for more than 6 months will have their pass expired if they do not do a further dose of vaccine.

- FFP2 CALMIERATE UNTIL MARCH

- The Commissioner for the emergency, Francesco Figliuolo, in agreement with the Minister of Health, will sign a protocol in January with pharmacies and authorized retailers to limit the price of Ffp2 masks until 31 March ( as is already the case for surgical masks, which have a price set at 50 cents). The government will monitor the price trend, which could range between 50 cents (the large-scale distribution chain of Coop has announced this sale price) and one euro.

- MARCH 31, THE STATE OF EMERGENCY EXPIRES.

WILL IT BE RENEWED?

- The last date ends with an uncertainty.

It is not yet possible to know whether the State of Emergency will be renewed, to which, for example, the rules on agile work, or smartworking, and those on exceptional health surveillance are linked.
