10 October 2021 The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, guest of the show "Che Tempo che Fa" on Rai 3, about the Covid-19 pandemic and the mandatory vaccine, said: "We have made the

vaccine mandatory

for healthcare professionals and RSA operators. The numbers of the epidemic at the moment are among the lowest in the European Union and there is a country's ability to keep the curve under control, so the choices we have made have brought results. So the mandatory nature of the vaccine is among the possibilities but at the moment the Government has chosen another strategy, however we have a margin to evaluate and see ".



Green pass, an instrument of freedom


About the Green Pass he then considered: "We must leave the Green Pass as it is for the moment, and then we can evaluate and eventually change. Already today the molecular buffer lasts 72 hours if the buffer is antigenic lasts 48 hours. The choices made in the last few days are also the result of the fact that the Green Pass allows greater security. 15 is an important step: we will make an assessment of the tightness of the system we have built but the feeling is that most people have grasped that the Green Pass it is an instrument of freedom ". "To date, the Green Pass has been downloaded 90 million times in total - added the Minister of Health - it has entered the lives of people who have understood that having the Green Pass means having safer places, such as for trains and planes. ". 



No Green Pass, punish violent people and dialogue with doubters


"A few minutes ago I was at the CGIL, I met the secretary Landini, net of all the images I have seen in these hours, see live the destruction of those rooms, the devastation of a symbolic place, it was a punch in the stomach. I think we should use an iron fist with those who practice violence and refer to fascism ". For Speranza

the plans must be distinguished

: "On the one hand, the violent ones with whom the very hard fist must be used; on the other hand, we must talk, reason, with those people who are still there who have doubts".



We are in the right direction but down to earth


"We have to take one step at a time knowing that we are not out of it and we have to continue studying the variants. We are going in the right direction but we have to keep our feet on the ground." then said the minister. 



Third dose now for over 60, then we will understand whether to extend it


"The third dose must be administered no earlier than six months after the conclusion of the vaccination cycle and at this time it is reserved for people over 80 and over 60, for people with severe frailty and for healthcare personnel. Here too we start immediately. At the moment, the indication is for people over 60, over the course of the months we will understand whether to extend it to those under the age of 60. I believe it is a possibility ". "The third dose is an important piece of the strategy that we have put in place: we start immediately, we already have almost 300 thousand third doses administered. The categories indicated are many and some do not yet have the 6 months elapsed from the primary cycle, so they will not be all vaccinated immediately, "he added.



Reopenings? We can afford it, but be careful


"Wider reopenings than those recommended by the CTS? These are decisions taken in the autonomy of the Council of Ministers starting from the basic indications, he told us that another step could be taken. In some areas we have chosen to make an adjustment. Cts is a precious consultative body, I thank presidents Locatelli and Brusaferro and the scientific community, but we can afford these reopenings because we are in a better situation. I keep saying: one step at a time, we are not out yet and we must study the variants, the Delta is absolute prevalent with 100%. It takes trust, but also caution and prudence. The overwhelming majority understood the message. " 



Euthanasia, recognizing Parliament as a priority role


"On an ethical matter such as euthanasia, I believe that the government must take a step back and recognize a priority role of Parliament. A disrupted government initiative would be out of place". 



Strong government regardless of administrative, serious forces have had the trust of the people


"I think this is a strong government because it responds to the problems of the country, it has strengthened the strategy to combat the pandemic. I believe that the government is strong regardless of the administrative elections but I believe that the forces that have distinguished themselves for greater seriousness have been trusted by the people ", concluded the Minister of Health.
