The new quarantine rules will come into force the day after the publication of the decree in the Official Gazette, which will take place in the next few hours. And the squeeze on the capacities of stadiums and sports halls will also start immediately, while the further extension of the reinforced Green pass will start from 10 January.
Yesterday the Council of Ministers gave the green light to the latest Covid decree of 2021, but soon another could arrive - at the beginning of 2022 - to extend the Super Green pass to the entire world of work.
Meanwhile, let's see the new rules approved yesterday.
QUARANTINE - There are three categories of quarantine for those who have come into contact with a positive at Covid.
For those who have taken the booster dose or have been vaccinated with two doses for less than four months and are asymptomatic, there is no quarantine. There is only one form of self-monitoring (with communication to the doctor in case of onset of symptoms) and the execution, on the fifth day of contact, of a swab with negative results. These subjects will have to wear the Ffp2 mask in public for ten days.
For those who have performed the last vaccination for more than 4 months and are therefore less covered by the infection, the quarantine is reduced from 7 to 5 days, with a negative test.
No changes for the unvaccinated: ten-day quarantine and negative test at the end.
SUPER PASS - The Super green pass is extended to practically all activities. From 10 January it is used to get on trains, buses, metro and all other means of transport, for hotels, festivals and fairs, ski resorts, indoor and outdoor events and sports competitions, restaurants and bars also outdoors, congresses , cultural, social and recreational centers for outdoor activities.
OTHER MEASURES - Reduction of stadium capacity from 75 to 50% and indoor stadiums from 50 to 35%. There is also the agreement on controlled prices for the Ffp2 masks, which are mandatory on several occasions: they should cost one euro, it will be up to Commissioner Figliuolo to reach the agreement and fix the price.
SUPER PASS ON WORK - On the other hand, there was no extension of the reinforced Green Pass to the entire world of work due to the doubts expressed by Lega and M5S. But, according to what is learned from government sources, the measure is only postponed.
Already at the beginning of the year, probably on January 5, a Council of Ministers should be convened to extend the Super Green pass to workers as well. According to what is learned, the government is studying how to proceed, evaluating the complexities in the various sectors. It would seem difficult, at the moment, to distinguish by categories, such as, for example, all workers in the public administration or all private individuals. In these days the technical in-depth analysis will continue and at the beginning of next week the social partners, trade unions and companies could also be consulted.
