The Italian government has ruled out a lockdown for the unvaccinated . Infection numbers are under control, so tightening restrictions is not necessary, Regional Minister Mariastella Gelmini said yesterday.
“The government has made decisions that allow our country to stay open. In our country, 84 percent of citizens are vaccinated with two doses. The government is following with great attention the evolution of the risk of contagion and is pushing for the third dose. The decisions taken allow us to be reasonably calm about the situation, but it is clear that we are in the most difficult months. We will consider whether it is necessary to change the rules we have given ourselves over time,” Gelmini said.
“Should be grateful to the vast majority of the country”.
“I am confident because I see that Italians are vaccinated, abide by the rules and wear a mask. I think we should be grateful to the vast majority of the country that has accepted the vaccination card, has vaccinated, has shown that it has understood the seriousness of the pandemic and has made its own contribution,” Gelmini said.
The minister was responding to calls from some presidents of regions who had proposed an Austrian-style lockdown on the unvaccinated.
