As announced by the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci in recent days, a measure is being defined that will change the management of Covid with new rules on the way.
The provisions are contained in the " anti-rave decree " which effectively cancels almost all those in force in the last two years. The text has already received the green light from the Senate and is now going to the House for approval. The new arrivals have already raised controversy and concern.
SWABS AND ISOLATION - The obligation to swab after 5 days of quarantine will be abolished, despite the presence of symptoms. This will allow potentially still positive people to leave the house. Currently the rules provide for an isolation at the end of which it is necessary to swab and in case of positivity the isolation continues until the first negative result.
SELF-SURVEILLANCE - The days required for self-surveillance of those who have come into close contact with a positive are halved . From 10 days to 5, to be observed with the Ffp2 mask only in crowded places. Skip the obligation, also in this case, to swab.
SANCTIONS - Among the amendments to the anti-rave decree there is also the one, signed by the League, which suspends the fines of 100 euros for the unvaccinated. This affects over 2 million people over 50, teachers and law enforcement who have not complied with last year's obligation.
GREEN PASS IN THE HOSPITAL - Certification will no longer be required anywhere. Access to hospitals, Rsa, nursing homes, which still require the Green Pass today, will be free.
SMARTWORKING - The provision allocates resources for 35.8 million euros for 2023, not only for Covid but also for the seasonal flu that has hit the country. Smartworking remains, at least for the fragile categories and for parents who have children under the age of 14. It is currently scheduled until March 31, 2023.
