In Italy around 60 percent are completely vaccinated. The next milestone is herd immunity. But until then there are corona measures. There is resistance to this. There are protests.
Italy has reached a milestone in its vaccination campaign against the coronavirus. With 32.4 million people, 60 percent of the population over the age of 12 are fully vaccinated, said the extraordinary commissioner for the corona emergency, Francesco Figliuolo, on Sunday.
By the end of September, Italy wants to have reached the 80 percent mark and, according to him, herd immunity.
Over the weekend, thousands of people demonstrated again in Italy against the planned corona measures. The government decided to do this because of the increasing number of cases. From August 6th, people who want to eat inside the restaurant or to the museum, for example, have to present proof of at least one corona vaccination, recovery from the disease or a negative corona test. There were also tumultuous protests by right-wing politicians against the measures in parliament.
Health experts repeatedly appeal to the population to get vaccinated against the virus disease and to adhere to the corona rules. A controversial topic was recently a possible vaccination requirement for teachers so that the coming school year can start again from September with face-to-face classes. According to the media, the government wants to decide on this during the week. According to the health minister, 15 percent of teachers have not yet been vaccinated.
In Italy, the seven-day incidence recently rose to 58 cases per 100,000 people nationwide. The question of what influence the crowds had on the European Football Championship is discussed again and again. Experts from the Supreme Health Institute saw an indication of this in a report on Friday: From the end of June there were more infections in men between the ages of 10 and 39 than in women.
