The Italian government is preparing a rule that will establish sanctions for health workers who do not want to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced today at a press conference.

"The Government wants to intervene on the issue because it is not going well at all that unvaccinated health operators are

in contact with patients,"

said Draghi, who announced that the Minister of Justice, Marta Cartabia, is preparing "a measure on the issue, on its form, and how the penalties are explained. "

The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, confirmed this idea.

"We are evaluating a standard," he

said, although he wanted to highlight that the adherence of health personnel to vaccination is high.

"This rule is being studied, but we must recognize that the adhesion of health personnel has been extraordinarily relevant. We will intervene in a quota that is very residual and this has to be recognized because

all health workers have done an extraordinary job

,

" he

defended.

"They have also set a very positive example.

There is a minimum band,

which we are now trying to count as well," Sperenza added at the joint press conference with Draghi to present the new measures against the pandemic that the Government will apply after Easter.

Last Tuesday, the Italian Justice ruled that health workers who refuse to be vaccinated could be

suspended from employment

and salary

as the obligation to guarantee security prevails over freedom of choice regarding vaccination provided for by the Italian Constitution.

That same day, the Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, also assured that at the moment the possibility of dismissing officials who refuse to be vaccinated was not contemplated, but added that it was a scenario that could be studied if necessary.
