Italy after 26 months leaves behind the state of emergency due to coronavirus. The cost that the country has paid so far is very heavy: 160,000 people have lost their lives, the infections reach 15 million. From today, with awareness of the situation, a new phase begins. In cafes and restaurants there are no longer any restrictions on the outdoors, while even a negative test will be enough to access the interior.
At the same time, teachers who have not been vaccinated can return to school. But not in direct contact with students, but with different tasks, which however are not yet clear. Teachers refuse to turn, even temporarily, into administrators and principals and high school teachers do not know how to solve the problem.
The pandemic has not yet subsided
At the same time as today, in order to be able to buy cigarettes, go to the bank or the post office, or enter any kind of store, you do not need a vaccination certificate.
Access is free, with a mask, to public transport. Instead, the vaccination certificate – or negative test – remains necessary for domestic trains and airplanes, ships and sports facilities. The stages do not return to 100% fullness.
It should be noted, however, that in recent weeks controls in Italy and the general observance of the rules in several cases had “weakened”. “The pandemic is not over, but from today we are trying to manage it without emergency measures,” said Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza. “But we have to be realistic, there is no OFF switch that can extinguish the pandemic. The virus continues to circulate and the use of the mask indoors is crucial,” he warned the Italians.
