With the curves growing, including hospitalizations (in particular ordinary ones, but also intensive care, which rose by one percentage point to 3% of occupancy in 24 hours), the decision on the use of masks in the workplace is expected this week. .
The table between the Ministry of Labor, Health, Economic Development and Inail was convened for June 30 with the social partners with the aim of signing an updated text of the Protocol on health and safety in the workplace, which "allows to establish a new framework of post-emergency rules ”. But " without underestimating the surge in infections in recent weeks ".
The Protocol still in force provides, among other measures, the obligation to use masks in all cases of sharing work environments.
If Pregliasco speaks of "underestimated" cases, Sileri explains that the current wave will be "self-limiting", in the sense that "it will last a few more weeks, then it will die out ".

According to the Undersecretary of Health "making the mask mandatory today would not make much sense, because in 15-20 days the peak will have already passed", the device should only remain " strongly recommended where there is crowding ".
As for vaccines, Sileri, also a splinter who moved to Di Maio's “Together for the future”, argues that this virus “will need community protection every year, as for the flu ”.
"I do not know if in 2023 this will be the virus that will circulate or another, the virus that will circulate most in the southern hemisphere will be identified and from there an updated vaccine will be prepared", continues the undersecretary, according to which "we must not worry and live in an obsessive manner the presence of this virus ", but" we must concentrate on obtaining updated vaccines as soon as possible, otherwise we will have some more problems in October ".
