The risk of ending up in the yellow zone or, even worse, orange, frightens the Regions and the governors are clamoring for the Austrian model: the restrictions linked to a possible change of color apply only to the unvaccinated, on the model of the lockdown decided by Vienna .
But the other side of the government comes: "No close on the Austrian model is being studied", they explain from Palazzo Chigi, underlining that the Italian data are not comparable to those of Austria, that the situation in intensive care is under control and that the monitoring of data continues, with an evaluation scheduled for December, but there is no desire to cause any kind of alarmism.
The proposal was initiated by the president of the Conference of Regions Massimiliano Fedriga, with his Friuli region as the first candidate to go yellow: “My idea is that the restrictions of the yellow zone should not apply to vaccinated people. Those who have protected themselves, have participated in the vaccination campaign, limit hospitalizations and safeguard the public health system cannot pay a price for which they are not at fault ”.
The Lombard Fonta is of the same opinion: "We cannot think of restrictions for these citizens who have shown trust, awareness and a sense of the common good." And the Ligurian Toti: "We will ask the government that the restrictive measures linked to color bands apply only to who did not get the vaccine. ”Occhiuto from Calabria and Cirio from Piedmont share the same opinion.
The Regions will meet on Thursday for a discussion on the issue, while doubts about the feasibility of the proposal come from the constitutionalists.
The differences between the white and yellow areas are essentially two: the obligation to wear a mask even outdoors and a limit of 4 people at restaurant tables. The real watershed is represented by the orange zone, with the curfew, the stop to the movements between municipalities and the closure of the premises.
Among the hypotheses, a close on the Green pass: the vaccine one could be worth 9 and not 12 months, the one as a tampon 48 and not 72 hours. But they are evaluations and measures for which you have to wait at least a couple of weeks.
