New rules, quarantine cleared for close contacts vaccinated with the booster (but the tampon is needed after 5 days). Super green pass compulsory on all means of transport

Yes tozeroing from the forty for vaccinated with booster or with two doses of less than four months, no al Super Green pass for all workers (due to the veto of the League and the doubts of the M5s). The enhanced green certificate comes though extended to trains, planes, ships and local public transport and regional. The capacity of the stages is reduced to 50%, that of the palaces at 35%. Understanding on the reduction of prices from the Ffp2 bezels. These are in summary the measures decided by the government to deal with the variante Omicron e to the continuous increase in infections, which today have touched quota 100 thousand in 24 hours. In the end, however, despite the data and the more restrictive orientation of the Scientific technical committee, the Draghi executive has chosen rules more permissive. Final decisions were made in cabinet, initially called at 5pm and then postponed every 20, which is finished after about an hour and a half of discussion.

The obligation of the Super Green pass in the workplace, supported by a part of the majority and also by the Regions, has long been on the table. During the control room, however, the League with the minister Giancarlo Giorgetti he slowed down, underlining that in fact it would become a “vaccination obligation“For workers. Some doubts also expressed them on M5s, with reasons opposite to those leagues: Stefano Patuanelli in fact, he asked what the ratio to distinguish between workers and the unemployed. At this point, the reasoning of Minister Cinquestelle, it is worthwhile to think aboutvaccination obligation. In the end, at least for now, even the proposal to extend the Super green pass only to workers of transport, exhibitions e ski lifts was discarded.

Instead, agreement was found on the forty: reset for i close contacts who are vaccinated with booster or with two doses less than four months, if asymptomatic. Quarantine is no longer envisaged but a form of self-surveillance (communicate any symptoms to the doctor) and on the fifth day a swab with negative result. For those who have performed the last vaccination from more than four months – therefore with less coverage from the contagion – the quarantine falls instead 7 to 5 days, always with the obligation of a negative buffer. For those who are not vaccinated it remains to 10 days, with outgoing test. A rule that accepts the proposal of the Regions, which have asked to exempt from quarantine those who have done the booster or who has done two doses for less than 4 months, but what does not solve the problem of clogging tampons, since every person in quarantine will still need a test to get out.

The opinion of the Technical Scientific Committee
The government’s stance is less cautious than the opinion approved by CTS experts. The technicians had proposed for close contacts of a positive who are vaccinated with dose booster or with a second less than 4 months a reduction from the 5-day quarantine, but with the possibility of performing the essential activities, how to go to work or do the expense and do other non-playful or recreational activities. It would have been forbidden, for example, to go to the cinema o in gym. At the end of the 5 days, then, the swab to exit the quarantine. In the case of the positives, the experts had finally predicted an isolation of 7 days (instead of the current 10 days expected) and a negative buffer on exit.

The proposal of the Regions
The Regions, on the other hand, see their requests accepted at least in part. The governors have sent a document with which they asked for “theexemption from quarantine for vaccinated with dose booster or who have completed primary school less than 4 months “, with the transition from quarantine toself-surveillance. A proposal that follows the Spanish system, where those who have undergone the full course of vaccination are not subjected to isolation in case of contact with a positive, unless they are too. In addition, the governors have called for a stop to isolation of a positive after 10 days without the need for a test, in the absence of symptoms from at least Three days. The Regions justify these measures with the need to guide the activities of contact tracing towards the subjects not vaccinated and more generally reduce the use of testing, in particular towards vaccinated contacts.

The Super green pass also for working
There was also on the executive table new squeeze on no vax, which had already been discussed in view of the latest decree, and the imposition of reinforced green pass also in the workplace, whether in public or private employment. The hypothesis, however, ran aground after the political confrontation: on the one hand there is the rigorist front, headed by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, and supported both by the Pd which, probably, by the Prime Minister himself Draghi, on the other the League and a part of the Cinquestelle. Meanwhile, the Regions have lined up: “We will ask the Government for the introduction of the Super Green pass in the workplace”. During the Council of Ministers, both the Pd that Come on Italy they expressed themselves in favor of compulsory vaccination.

New Year’s, Interior Ministry: “Strengthened controls”
In the meantime, a circular sent to all the Prefects arrived from the Interior Ministry during the day inviting them to carry out intensified checks to New Year’s to verify compliance with the latter anti-Covid provisions, or also the ban on parties on premises and outdoors, for fear of gatherings, e the obligation to wear a mask. This, it is specified, must take place in particular in the central areas of the cities and in those where there are more locals.

School, hypothesis of postponement of returns? Bianchi brakes
Among the governors there are also those who pushed for one extension of the Christmas holidays to prevent the return to school from becoming a factor in the acceleration of the infection, in a moment in which unprecedented numbers are recorded. But on this point the Minister of Education, Patrizio Bianchi, he doesn’t seem to be willing to negotiate, remaining on his position of a return in attendance on January 10, except for those institutions where a high number of infections is detected. Draghi wants it anyway avoid the return in dad, but in the event of a further increase in cases in the week preceding the return to the banks, one could opt for targeted closures. A deserving decision was postponed to early 2022.
