Ciavatta “Covid under control in San Marino, but not the guard” Italpress news agency
ROME (ITALPRESS) – “The situation is absolutely under control, partly because we benefit from the measures of the Italian Republic and also because in San Marino the percentage of vaccination remains very high. The vaccination of the first cycle exceeded 80% optimally, so data ”. This was stated by Roberto Ciavatta, Secretary of State for Health and Social Security of the Republic of San Marino, during an interview with the Italpress news agency, about the Covid-19 pandemic.
“At the hospital level there are two hospitalizations and none in intensive care – he continued -. We cannot get the guard, in recent days we have strengthened some in fear that a greater contagion could arrive in San Marino. We also started booster doses starting from RSA and the most fragile, but we have already started for all age groups from 18 years upwards. For the moment we use Pfizer as a dose booster for both those who have already made the mRNA vaccine and for those who have carried out Sputnik. For those who decide not to adapt to the heterologous campaign there is the possibility of resorting to a vaccine called Sputnk light on the way “.
On the containment measures and on the green pass, the Secretary of State for Health had to have “the problem of no vax because the area around San Marino has a significant presence of people who do not want to get vaccinated” and for this reason a few days ago “We are using the green pass but only for those activities in which there is no possibility of guaranteeing continuous distancing, not for example in restaurants – explained Ciavatta -. We can intervene in the event of an increase in infections, the size of the territory of San Marino will guarantee us measures and streamlining them in applying them “.
Ciavatta confirmed the investments in the health sector and in the new state hospital: “The arrival of Covid confronted us with the fact that our hospital, already old, was absolutely inadequate. We have the construction of the new hospital in the pipeline but it will take more than three years, we are in the phase of issuing calls for design and construction. He will be very attentive to the environment with solar panels and water recovery, while the beds will be internally modular, all isolable “.
In the Senate, San Marino received a prestigious award, an award for the “Tecum” app that can be downloaded for free on all mobile phones, both Android and Apple. Roberto Ciavatta said he was proud and told how the idea of this application to protect women victims of domestic violence was born: “During the first months of the pandemic in 2020, we realized that in the event of any domestic violence it would be it was impossible for women or victims of violence to leave the house and notify the police, so we studied this app that anonymously, not visible to third parties, not only reports the problem to the police, but also a recording of what is happening so as to know where they are going to intervene ”.
