Draghi stresses that the vaccine is the only way out of the crisis

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said today that the Italian government will allow young students to return to school next month and stressed that the only way out of the 13-month crisis is to move forward with the production of the vaccine and intensify the vaccination campaign. Draghi, who took office last month, added that "the situation remains very worrying.

The measures taken over the past year and a half have proven their value. We want to reopen, but the decision to do so or not depends on the data." Health Minister Roberto Speranza said that the results of the recent restrictions are beginning to bear fruit as infection rates have gradually decreased, and he also added that conditions have improved enough in Lazio, only one out of 20 regions in Italy to allow restrictions to be reduced there.
