the government thinks about filtering arrivals from Spain and Portugal – Libero Quotidiano

Worry the Delta variant to the point that the government is about to launch new restrictions anti-Covid. The first rumors already speak of a decision that will come in the next few hours. The Messenger who writes about limitations for is certain filter arrivals from Spain and Portugal, the countries of the European Union where the contagion is increasing. The countermeasures will in all likelihood be the same as in the United Kingdom: currently those arriving from London and other British cities (or those who have been there in the last fourteen days) must present the negative result of a Covid test (molecular or antigenic) performed within 48 hours of entering Italy, remain in solitary confinement for five days and, at the end, make an additional swab.

Problem of the Ministry of Health – explains the newspaper – is however the theme of Green Pass. Yes, because doing so just ten days after its activation would disavow the instrument of the European which must serve precisely to guarantee travel, in safety, within the borders of the EU. A bad thing to peel for Roberto Speranza.

And so the minister might think of an intermediate solution, which satisfies both sides. Which? Provide the mechanism of the swab plus five-day quarantine only for those who have not completed the vaccination process, thus granting a preferential lane for the immunized. Will this really be the case or will fear for the Indian strain of Covid take over?
