(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 05 - The Council of Ministers has approved the extension of the vaccination obligation, without age limits, to all staff who work in universities and institutions of higher artistic, musical and reutical training. For students, however, the previous green pass obligation continues to apply.
"Since May we have always worked, with flexibility, to guarantee the fundamental right to study and, at the same time, a return to classrooms, laboratories, libraries as safe as possible. This is the path that, even with this decision and given the current context, we continue to follow, ”said the Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa at the end of the Council of Ministers which passed the new provisions.
"The recommendation continues to be for carrying out all activities mainly in the presence. At the same time, the distance teaching tools put in place by universities, conservatories, academies, institutes continue to be available to guarantee safeguards for students who fail to participate in presence or in specific cases in relation to epidemiological risk. I am sure that, once again, by working together and in continuous confrontation, the university community will be able to better address this new situation as well ".
