19 September 2021 The extension of the Green Pass will help "strengthen the two pillars of the fight against the virus: immunization coverage thanks to vaccines and correct social behavior". Thus Silvio Brusaferro, in an interview with La Stampa applauds the government's move, but, on the intention of extending the validity of the molecular buffer to 72 hours, warns: "Incubation with the Delta variant is faster and, the more time passes from 'performance of the test, the more can increase the risk of exposure to the virus. " The president of the Higher Institute of Health and spokesman for the Technical Scientific Committee makes it clear that prudence is still needed, even on the request to bring cinemas and theaters to maximum capacity: "There is an ongoing evaluation, the government does not has still formally asked for an opinion,we will see in the coming weeks ".
With the Green Pass in the workplace "the goal - explains the expert - is to convince the many hesitants, with particular attention to the 50-59 age group, which is the most numerous and has 18% without any protection. : it is a significant percentage, there are about 2 million people who must grasp the importance of vaccination ". "We must reach the highest possible coverage, there is no precise threshold that we can indicate today. The reference points - he explains - are the circulation of the virus, therefore the incidence of infections, and the need for positives to seek treatment health care, therefore hospitalizations. Based on these data the evaluations will be made ".
"It is important - he says - to be able to maintain teaching in the presence and, in this perspective, the very positive participation of young people in the vaccination campaign is encouraging. Under the age of 12, however, at least for this first part of the school year, we cannot yet be vaccinated and this represents a weak point ". So the idea of having masks removed in classes where everyone is vaccinated is risky? "No, that is the scenario of arrival. With an increasing number of immunized people, we will try to reduce security measures and" barriers ". Today we are not yet in this condition: the reference horizon is a situation control of the virus, with which we must learn to live ".
Vaccines: we have technologies to modify them quickly
"Fortunately, we have the technology necessary to modify vaccines very quickly: this is a guarantee that in the coming months we will be able to keep the circulation of the virus under control, even if it changes continuously. For this we must be very careful in the activity of sequencing, "Brusaferro finally said.
Gelmini: "Almost normal towards autumn, green pass to open"
"We must stop the circulation of the virus and its variants in order to continue to reopen the country. With the green pass we protect life, work and economic activities: it is a small sacrifice that brings great benefits". Thus, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, Mariastella Gelmini, Minister for Regional Affairs. On the possibility of mandatory vaccination, he says: "The first signs coming from the growth in bookings make me think that we can avoid it, even if FI would have no problem, if necessary, to vote for the obligation. With 85% of the population immunized we will have an almost normal autumn ". As for the political agreement on the green pass, the minister stressed that "there were no problems. The government was compact in the control room and on the CDM. I do not judge Salvini's attitude:he is a political leader who got vaccinated, his ministers and governors are on the executive line. The goal of the green pass is to encourage vaccinations, not tampons ".
On the possibility of full reopening of cinemas, theaters, discos, Gelmini observes that "as Prime Minister Draghi said, this latest decree on the green pass is a provision designed to continue to open. We need to understand what the impact of the launch will be. If the numbers of infections are under control, it is already foreseen that we can proceed to increase the capacities for all the events and to reopen the activities that are still closed, even the discos ". Finally, when asked if it is right for the government to reach the end of the legislature, the minister comments: "It is right that it completes its mission: to secure the country's health, ensure a stable economic recovery and start the reforms and construction of the NRP. The times to do all this cannot be predicted today ".
From checks to swabs, all the nodes of the Green pass
After the extension of the obligation of the Green pass, various hubs report an acceleration of vaccinations. It was perhaps the main result expected by those who saw in the new move by the Government above all an incentive to join the anti-Covid vaccination campaign. But in the decree, which concerns 23 million workers, there are many aspects on which clarification is awaited: how to check the digital certificate and what to do if the employee does not have it, are the main issues on which, from different perspectives, we think in the public sector, in small and large private companies, as well as in households.
After the publication in the Official Gazette, scheduled for Monday, the government guidelines "for the homogeneous definition of the organizational methods" are expected before they come into force on October 15. The Ministry of Health and Palazzo Chigi are working on it, and in the meantime, managers and trade unions are studying the practical and legal implications. The workers who do not get vaccinated must be "put in the position of not having to pay the tampon", reiterated the general secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini, but the executive line is different. It will have a lower cost and perhaps a longer validity but it will not be free or below a certain threshold, "otherwise - clarified the Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando - the political message would pass that getting vaccinated or not vaccinated would be the same thing".
The labor lawyer Pietro Ichino has doubts about the distinction between the public sector, where the suspension is triggered after 5 days of non-presentation of the green certificate, and the private sector where it must be carried out immediately: "It is not justified and it will be good that when the decree is converted fixed this error ". More than in large companies, it poses critical issues to those with less than 15 employees and to the self-employed, sectors where Ichino imagines more than anything else "random checks".
For workers the penalties are from 600 to 1,500 euros, for employers from 400 to a thousand and also apply to families who employ no vax domestic workers. According to polls in recent weeks these were 20% (some have foreign vaccines that are not valid for the Green pass) and many were lining up in the hubs yesterday for the first dose. "If the worker does not want to get vaccinated, with the permanent contract he can be fired - says Andrea Zini, president of Assindatcolf -. At that point it will be better to hire a replacement always for an indefinite period, who in turn can be fired with a week's leave. notice to return the 'owner' repentant and vaccinated ". More complex is the dynamics in "black" situations, estimated at one million: "The employer can be blackmailed, buton the other hand - observes Zini - it is
among the risks that he had to take into account ".
The Green pass will also be mandatory for plumbers, electricians, and all craftsmen: the obligation of control is up to the employer and, pending the guidelines, one can imagine that the client at least have the right to ask for it before letting them into the house. Taxi drivers, bus drivers, employees of commercial businesses but not their customers are also bound to the Green pass. There is a discipline for the temporary replacement of workers without a certificate : estimating 20% of unvaccinated employees in the restaurant world, Tni Italia has requested vouchers in recent days.
The issue is also hot in the Public Administration, including the courts (in Genoa there are about a hundred non-immunized people) and there are those who, like the Confsal Unsa union, contest the rule that "exempts lawyers, consultants and experts from show the green pass. We cannot allow distinctions to be made between Serie A and Serie B citizens. " Sport and entertainment are pressing the government to open 100% of stadiums, arenas, theaters and cinemas, while the theme parks are asking for refreshments, which have pushed for the Green pass. Even if it blocked the positive trend of the beginning of the season: " still waiting for the 20 million euros of the DL Sostegni Bis: the only contribution allocated in 18 months ".
