(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 29 - "We immediately moved inconsistent with what we have asked for in the past: we have provided the swab for all those who come from China, but it is effective if it is taken from all over the EU. For this reason we wrote to Brussels We expect the EU to want to work in this direction. We need to understand whether what is coming is covered by vaccines or not. Up to now, only Omicron has been revealed. Right now it should be reassuring. The Chinese case proves it: work on responsibility and not coercion".
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni affirms it, also adding: "I am thinking of an observatory on Covid", for data monitoring.
The premier explains that she believes that the "situation is under control at the moment" and that she is convinced that "swabs and masks" are useful tools for combating the current emergency.
