Via the obligation of outdoor masks not only in the white area, as it was initially ventilated, but throughout Italy.
This was announced by Undersecretary for Health Andrea Costa: "A provision from the Ministry of Health is coming to remove outdoor masks throughout the country without distinction of color for the regions starting from 11 February".
This, added Costa, "is a sign of hope for all Italians".
If the obligation had been eliminated from Friday 11 only in the white zone, for the moment it would have affected just three Regions: Umbria, Basilicata and Molise.
And by the end of March the state of emergency should expire and not be extended: "This is the government's goal. There are still 12-13 million booster doses missing. If we proceed at this rate in 30-40 days, it is easy to think that half March we would have completed the booster dose to 49 million fellow citizens. From there a new phase will begin and as we have gradually introduced the restrictions with the graduality we will begin the easing, also for the stadiums ".
On the maintenance or not of the Green pass instead: "It was very useful to encourage vaccination. We must keep in mind that we must administer the third dose which is fundamental".
