The decision to extend the use of the green pass to the whole world of work is made "for two fundamental reasons: to make these places safer and to make our vaccination campaign even stronger", whose "numbers are very encouraging. , but it is clear that an even more significant use of the green pass, such as the one we implement with this decree, we are sure it will help us even more to push this vaccination campaign ", said the minister.
With the dl on the green pass "we are following a strategy that focuses on the vaccine as the key to opening a new season. We extend the obligation of the green pass from 15 October to the whole world of work, public and private".

Brunetta: "We have applied the school model"
"We have applied the school model to the public and private sectors, because the
school model
it worked perfectly ", said the Minister of Public Administration Renato Brunetta." The fact that this measure will come into force on October 15 is a clear message: get vaccinated in these four weeks.

smartworking

Gelmini:" Green pass guarantees freedom and openings "
"There was ample sharing by local authorities, but above all awareness of the importance of the green pass. There may be an extension of activities and a decrease in restrictions. The governors have asked for correct information to avoid fake news that convinces people not to get vaccinated. We also established a controlled price for tampons, we asked that the cost of tampons for minors be 8 euros, and the extension of the value of the molecular to 72 hours ", said the Minister of Affairs regional Mariastella Gelmini.
Orlando: "Recovery still too fragile"
"We cannot afford new restrictions in the fall," said Labor Minister Andrea Orlando. "We want people to get vaccinated, but we stop a moment before the obligation, which would polarize the positions even more. To go to work you will need the green pass, those who need a tampon to work will have access to a controlled price: the sanctions for those who do not recognize this decree involve suspension, but they will not have to do with paths that lead to dismissal ".
