“Refused the lockdown proposed by the Emergency Group”. This was revealed in the Tuesday session of the Great and General Council by the Secretary of Health, Roberto Ciavatta. Although urged to resort to draconian measures by the ISS technicians, twice, first at the beginning and then in mid-December, he disregarded the requests, preferring to draft a decree that would in any case avoid burdening the hospital saturation.

But in the lightning-fast spread of the virus, with cases of positivity between 300 and 400% higher than in the same period of 2020, what was the proposed trend? The report of January 3 reports it in black and white, from the introduction of compulsory vaccination, to the reinforced Green pass, passing through the lockdown, provided in the first instance only for the unvaccinated.

Other items to tick in the list? Speed ​​up the vaccination campaign, include Ffp2, as well as provide for the mandatory “green certificate” for workers. A position that placed Ciavatta between a rock and a hard place, given the rift that was already snaking in the heart of the majority due to the ventilated crackdown, which in the light of the revelation now appears much more nuanced. “The Congress evaluated the proposals received from the technical bodies considering Iss – he points out – organisms unsustainable a new lockdown and taking into consideration the vaccination, even for single categories, in light of the particularity of our regulatory system, which obligation requires further investigation also in based on the progress of the infection “.

Hence the decision to determine “measures which, in comparison with what is in force outside the borders, are less restrictive and introduces a temporariness ̀ of which the Congress will end future developments shortly, reduce to reduce the load on the ISS and reopen activities, for the benefit of non-Covid patients “.

Vaccinations

The intention to concentrate every effort on the vaccination campaign with boosters has also been confirmed. And while awaiting the progress of the increasingly capricious pandemic, the secretary reconstructs the major spikes found in the correspondence of the holidays up to the pandemic curve in the week from 3 to 9 January, new to 3,038 positives per 100 thousand inhabitants. Thus he hypothesizes due scenario: the one in which everyone was vaccinated with the third dose and the most tragic one in which no one was vaccinated. The latter case in which the Intensive would not hold up. Then set aside the bitter accounting of the virus, he ensures the end of the administrations booster by January with reinforcements for Team Covid.

Which in the same time window has faced the major critical issues, handling 1,031 cases, studded with 245,976 calls. Also on the table are the school protocols of 12 January “already subject to changes – he declares – due to the impact on the classes”.

And that’s not all. With the help of the Civil Protection, a buffer point has already been set up in Skeet shooting in Serravalle to avoid traffic blocks near the hospital. In addition, “the completion of the new location at the Azzurro Shopping Center” is in the pipeline.

Two more deaths Go to the vaccine for children
