Italy says it will have Covid-19 under control at Christmas thanks to vaccination

“Thanks to the vaccinated situation, we will be able to have the situation under control” Sileri added.

Italy has already immunized 83.3% of the population over 12 years of age against the coronavirus, according to the latest update of the site that monitors the vaccination campaign in real time.

In this context, Sileri acknowledged that the country is “in a fourth wave” of the pandemic, like the rest of Europe, although he stressed that “it affects each country differently according to the number of vaccinated.”

“You can say that this is a wave of the pandemic reserved predominantly for the unimmunized. Vaccination saves lives.” Sileri added.

Since mid-October, Italy introduced the mandatory health “green pass” for all public and private workers in the country to invigorate the vaccination campaign.

In this context, although some anti-vaccine sources remain, especially in northern cities such as Trieste, the Government has already stated its intention to reach 90% of the immunized population in the coming months.

On the other hand, since last October 15, mandatory immunization came into force for all workers in the public and private sector in the country. Masks are still mandatory in closed public spaces.
