Covid: today the Cdm on measures, super green pass for over 60s

2022-01-05T09:13:12.311Z


The CDm on the new anti-Covid squeeze is expected today. The hypothesis of the super green pass obligation to work is removed. Instead, compulsory vaccination could arrive for fragile subjects, such as those over 60. Meanwhile, a new record of cases in Italy: 170,844 in 24 hours, the highest number since the beginning of the pandemic. Hospitalizations are growing in 17 regions, intensive in nine (ANSA)


The escalation of infections - yesterday the record since the beginning of the pandemic, 170 thousand - pushes the Government towards a new squeeze to curb the race of the virus. Among the hypotheses in the field - but Palazzo Chigi remains prudent - check, as an alternative to the imposition of the super green pass on all workers, also the vaccination obligation for fragile subjects, the most at risk, such as those over 60: they are 1 , 2 million Italians in this age group still without injection and are those who crowd hospitals and intensive care, also determining the color change of the regions.



Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who returned to Rome, yesterday made the point with the ministers Roberto Speranza, Patrizio Bianchi, Roberto Brunetta and with the Commissioner Francesco Figliuolo in view of the Council of Ministers that should be held in the afternoon to launch new measures useful to face the peak of infections, expected at the end of the month. The Cdm, however, has not yet been convened and could be preceded by a political control room because in the majority of the distances, in particular on the hypothesis of extending the super green pass, all remain. The Prime Minister's line has always been to decide on the basis of data. And the numbers, driven by the Omicron variant, show new peaks for infections and victims day by day (more deaths than yesterday's 259 were not recorded since last April 30).But the worst is yet to come, as experts predict further Covid growth in the coming weeks before it reaches the plateau. The imperative is therefore to cool the curve. On the table is the extension of the reinforced green pass to all workers, public and private (Forza Italia requested it yesterday), or only for the former. But at the moment the rules do not appear in the drafts and the possibility of limiting it in a first phase to employees who are in contact with the public is not excluded.public and private (Forza Italia asked yesterday), or only for the former.

The Super green pass for all workers sees the opposition of the League, does not convince the M5S and raises doubts even in the Democratic Party, which instead presses for the vaccination obligation. The Leaguers, on the other hand, would not oppose the obligation to have a vaccine for fragile categories. But the majority is also divided on smart working: Draghi and Brunetta talked about it at Palazzo Chigi Draghi and Brunetta, with the latter always immovable because the rules already allow flexible use and you can't go back to the 2020 lockdown. Basically, that's the message , in case of needs related to peaks of infections it is already possible for companies and administrations to resort to agile work to lighten attendance without introducing new measures. But the clash with the M5s remains, which instead is favorable to remote work. The hypothesis ofvaccination obligation would appear instead during the extraordinary Conference of Regions convened in the afternoon. The president of Liguria, Giovanni Toti (one of the Regions at risk of slipping into orange), was clear: "we have tried them all - he wrote on fb - but at this point all that remains is the vaccination obligation for all workers and more fragile subjects who have not yet received the vaccine by choice (which obviously does not apply to those with valid medical reasons that prevent them). peak of infections expected for the end of January ".Giovanni Toti (one of the Regions at risk of slipping into orange), it was clear: "we tried them all - he wrote on fb - but at this point all that remains is the vaccination obligation for all workers and the most fragile subjects who still they did not get the vaccine by choice (which obviously does not apply to those who have valid medical reasons that prevent them from doing so). With my fellow presidents of the Region, we made a request to the Government to intervene as soon as possible to deal with the peak of infections expected for the end of January ".Giovanni Toti (one of the Regions at risk of slipping into orange), it was clear: "we tried them all - he wrote on fb - but at this point all that remains is the vaccination obligation for all workers and the most fragile subjects who still they did not get the vaccine by choice (which obviously does not apply to those who have valid medical reasons that prevent them from doing so).

The way to impose administration does not appear to be simple practicability, in a country where the climate is already overheated by no vax drifts. Certainly the government evaluates the data that say that 526 unvaccinated over 60 out of a million end up in intensive care against 33 immunized out of a million. The other chapter on which the discussion is open is the school, given the rise of infections among children and the now imminent return to the classrooms after the holidays. Minister Bianchi saw Draghi and then the trade unions; and reiterated; the priority is to be in the presence and in safety. However, there will be a revision of the number of infections that triggers the dad for the whole class, with an increase especially for age groups that have a higher vaccination coverage.The Regions' proposal provides for a stop to attendance with only one positive pupil; the threshold a has increased to two for primary and lower secondary schools for students under the age of 12 and to three for those over 12 years of age.
