Summer 2021, vacations in mask and out of curfew. Still no clubs



[ad_1]


It will be a summer with a mask but, except for unforeseen waves of viruses, without a curfew. It is very unlikely that the clubs will reopen, although at this point the limit between a nightclub where you dance and a beach bar that keeps the music at full volume is very subdued and, therefore, the excesses and errors of the past year are still unknown. . The tourist machine has already been launched: offers on flights to Sicily, Sardinia, Puglia, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and the Greek islands now appear at almost all Italian airports, even the smallest ones. But to think that everything will be as in 2019 and that the coronavirus parenthesis will close is illusory.

WHY SHOULD WE USE THE MASK?

Today, about 10 percent of Italians have received at least one dose of the vaccine. By July, according to the government’s promises, we should be at 60 percent. So why is it necessary to protect yourself and ban gatherings? The response of Professor Fabrizio Pregliasco, a virologist at the University of Milan: “Even in the best of cases, even in the presence of extensive vaccination coverage, inevitably there will be a significant number of people, especially young people, who will not yet have been Therefore, if we want to limit the circulation of the virus, we will all have to make a small sacrifice such as continuing to wear the masks. Also, let’s always remember, an immunized person does not get sick, but for now there is not enough data available to say that they are not it infects and cannot transmit the virus. Of course, there could be a mismatch in the open air places, but it will have to be evaluated based on the epidemiological situation that we will have in June and July “.

ARE THE DANCE FLOORS STILL EMPTY?

Several episodes, from Seoul to Greece, from Croatia to Sardinia, showed last summer that nightclubs, especially indoors but also outdoors, are places where transmission of the virus is particularly rapid. “I’m sorry to say,” says Professor Pregliasco, “but this could be another summer without great meeting places like discos. Let’s hope it’s the last one. It must be said that in other European countries the situation has changed: in Spain -from Madrid to the Costa del Sol- open nightclubs and DJs are reported at work, although with the limitation of closures at 11pm. A few weeks ago the infections in the Iberian Peninsula were diminished, however, it is necessary to assess whether the (almost) “free all” of these days will feed a fourth wave. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of French have left their country to escape the blockade that has affected a third of the population in and around Paris, in the north and south near Nice since March 20: they have moved to Spain , also thanks to smart work, to enjoy a greater (but insidious) freedom.

WILL THEY BE NON-COURSE HOLIDAYS?

In Italy today we have to return at 10 pm, but can we make up the night from May to June? “In principle – answers Professor Pregliasco – it is possible that the curfew will end in summer, but perhaps it would be useful to follow the example of the United Kingdom and set a timetable for reopening and easing the containment measures linked to the reduction of the number of positive cases and the growth of the percentage of vaccinated Italians ».

PASSPORT AND VACCINAL HISPONS

The vaccination passport is spoken both at the European level and in individual countries, including Italy. Its implementation now seems inevitable, while accelerations are already underway: Greece, which has opened to vaccinated Israeli tourists and Thailand in some areas as of July, will receive foreign visitors without quarantine if they are immunized. At the same time, the strategy of buffers necessary for travel (planes and ferries) will continue. This is a formula tested at the Fiumicino airport, which made the first “Covid free” flights already in 2020. This system is rejected in several ways: buffer at airport arrivals, buffer before departure (at the airport or in a private laboratory). Tour operators, for example, are already selling the “flight, hotel and buffer” formula to those who want to go to the Canary Islands. In addition, the European Union is studying a certificate that guarantees cleaning and hygiene standards as a way to prevent coronavirus in tourist facilities to restore consumer confidence.
