(ANSA) - Rome, June 18 - Health Minister Roberto Speranza
said the government's COVID-19 'cabina di regia' taskforce is
scheduled to meet on Friday and he expects 99% of Italy to
become a white zone thanks to the vaccination campaign, based on
current data.
"The 'cabina di regia' will meet today and at the end of the
meeting I will be called to sign ordinances", the health
minister said during a press conference at the Senate on the
theme "Ideas in practice: for a healthcare mindful of sex and
gender differences".
"Based on the data we see, the ordinances will make us take
another step further".
"We expect 99% of Italy to become a white zone".
"This is surely encouraging data, a result that is the
outcome of a vaccination campaign that is obtaining very
important results".
Speranza went on to say that "over 570,000 doses" were
administered on Thursday, "and this is a very significant
result".
