The government is considering the possibility of retiring the color system , conceived when the pandemic situation was very different from what it is now.
This was confirmed by Undersecretary for Health Andrea Costa: “Italy in color - he told SkyTg24 - was undoubtedly a useful system shared with the Regions, and it is essential to continue on this shared path. But also on Italy in color I believe that a reflection can absolutely be made because it is right, in front of 90% of Italians vaccinated, to give perspectives to citizens ".
In his opinion, vaccines should also be the key requirement to stay in school: "I am to keep all those who have vaccinated in class - he added -. Distance learning is fine for those who have voluntarily decided not to undergo the vaccination but in front of an audience that for 80% has been vaccinated, I believe that the school in the presence must be a guarantee regardless ".
Even the daily bulletin "in the coming weeks is destined to change" and "I think it is more a political choice than a scientific choice. public opinion and make a communication that does not give breath to those who still maintain that the vaccine is not useful. If every day we continue to communicate, in a generic way, that 150,000 citizens are infected, the risk is that we give a voice to those who say that the vaccines are not needed because we are still infected ".
For the undersecretary, however, it is necessary to "highlight that those who end up in hospital and in intensive care are mainly those who do not get vaccinated". "From the point of view of communication, - he stressed - something we must change, we must take into account a scenario that has profoundly changed. We cannot underestimate the fact that 27 million Italians have already received the third dose. We must distinguish asymptomatic from symptomatic, say clearly that the unvaccinated have more serious consequences, deepen the data relating to intensive care and highlight that even today 75% of those who occupy them are unvaccinated citizens. I believe - concluded Costa - that a change in communications in this direction may be useful in trying to reduce even more the number of unvaccinated ".
