July 15, 2021 "If virtuous behaviors remain fundamental to limit the circulation of the virus, the use of the green pass on the French model for access to bars, restaurants and other activities, although desirable, is not very applicable in the short term due to various obstacles that should be faced and removed ". This was revealed by Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, on the occasion of the weekly report of the Foundation. "First of all - he explains - the unavailability of vaccines for all those who would like to receive them and the non-free swabs in all Regions generates a risk of discrimination; secondly, tools and resources are needed for tight and systematic checks; finally, there is a lack of law on the vaccination obligation for those who carry out tasks in contact with the public ".

The independent monitoring of the Gimbe Foundation on the progress of the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy shows in the week from 7 to 13 July, compared to the previous one, "an increase of 61.4% of new cases (8,989 against 5,571); on the other hand, deaths are decreasing (104 versus 162), currently positive cases (40,649 versus 42,579), people in home isolation (39,364 versus 41,121), hospitalizations with symptoms (1,128 versus 1,271) and intensive care (157 versus 187) ". "On the front of new cases - says Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation - there is a net weekly increase, which is underestimated by a continuously decreasing testing activity, which makes it impossible to trace the contacts adequately". Fromat the beginning of May the number of people tested weekly "has in fact progressively reduced by 56.3%, going from 662,549 to 289,869", highlights the report. In the week 7-13 July in all regions, with the exception of Basilicata and Valle D'Aosta, "there was a percentage increase in new cases compared to the previous week due to the progressive spread of the Delta variant".

Deaths ", on the other hand, continue to drop, settling at 104 in the last week with an average of 15 per day compared to 24 in the previous week", Gimbe observes. "As already foreseen 3 weeks ago - comments Cartabellotta - the wait-and-see strategy to deal with the circulation of the Delta variant did not work and now it is necessary to stem the consequences of the increase in infections by accelerating the complete vaccination coverage of over 60 and frail people. the circulation of the virus virtuous behavior remains fundamental, the use of the Green pass on the French model for access to bars, restaurants and other activities, although desirable, is not very applicable in the short term due to various obstacles that should be faced and removed " .
