Covid-19, the new rules: no quarantine for those who have the third dose

New quarantine rules and a new extension of the use of the Reinforced Green Pass (which is obtained with vaccination and recovery, not through a negative swab), but no further expansion to the world of work of the Super Green Pass, requested by the governors of the Regions, due to lack of agreement between the parties with the opposing Lega and M5S. The Council of Ministers approved the new decree with rules that will come into force from January 10, 2022 and will remain in force until the end of the state of emergency, now set for 31 March.

Quarantines

To prevent quarantines from blocking too many work categories and even essential services, a change of rules has arrived for those who come into contact with a positive. There are three new categories.

The precautionary quarantine is no longer there for anyone who comes into contact with a positive and is asymptomatic if: received the third dose, completed the primary vaccination course no more than 120 days ago, recovered from Covid-19 again for 120 days.

There is no quarantine but it arrives the obligation to wear Ffp2 masks for 10 days and to do a rapid or molecular antigen test, if with symptoms, on the fifth day after the last exposure to the case.

For those who have had the last vaccination for more than four months and have had contact with a positive, the quarantine is lowered from 7 to 5 days. For those who are not vaccinated, the quarantine remains for 10 days. The isolation remains for the positives. Quarantine or self-surveillance always ends with a negative, antigenic or molecular test, also done at a private center and then sent to the ASL.

Reinforced Green Pass

The reinforced Green Pass is also needed, again from 10 January, for hotels and accommodation facilities, parties resulting from civil or religious ceremonies, festivals and fairs, convention centers, outdoor catering, ski lifts with tourist-commercial purposes even if located in ski areas, swimming pools, swimming centers, team sports and wellness centers also outdoors, cultural center, social and recreational center for outdoor activities.

Transportation

The reinforced Green Pass is required for access and use of means of transport including local or regional public transport. For all means of transport you need the Ffp2 mask.

Capacities

The decree provides for a reduction in capacities: a maximum of 50% for outdoor facilities, therefore stadiums, and 35% for indoor facilities.

Masks

There will be an agreement between General Figliuolo’s commissioner structure and pharmacies to have controlled prices for Ffp2 masks.
