As we now know, today March 31, 2022 ends the state of emergency decided by the Government in relation to the pandemic situation from Covid, Then from April 1 there will be some gradual changes to the many restrictions to which we have become accustomed in these two years.
Not all of them will be eliminated in the short term and some will last a few more months and of course these gradual changes will be respected as long as the contagion curve does not get too bad. We also remember that from March 28th we said goodbye to the division by colors of the Regions and Italy can be considered all white.
In short, we must always keep an eye on the progress of the pandemic and the situation relating to ordinary hospitalizations and intensive care.
Let's see what will change from tomorrow.

The obligation to wear masks
Also in this case there are some steps to follow.

- in the workplace, the surgical mask will suffice, even for workers assigned to domestic and family services.
In indoor places where it is not mandatory to wear the FFP2, it is in any case mandatory to wear the surgical one.
Quarantine and isolation
From 1 April only those who have become infected will have to respect isolation.
Anyone who has had close contact with a positive will have to follow the self-monitoring regime which provides:
- wear the Ffp2 mask for 10 days from the last contact;
- do a test as soon as symptoms appear;
- carry out a test if still symptomatic on the fifth day following the date of the last contact.
Vaccine obligation
The obligation remains to be vaccinated for:
- health personnel until 31 December;
- for teachers and educational staff until June 15;
- for over 50 workers until June 15, but they will be able to go to work with the Green Pass Base and no longer the Strengthened one;
The rules for the school
Here's how to settle for school:
- if there are at least four cases of contagion among pupils in the same class, the activities continued in the presence and teachers, educators and children with at least 6 years must use FFP2 masks for ten days from the last contact with a positive subject;
- if symptoms appear or are still symptomatic on the fifth day following the last contact, a rapid or molecular antigen test or self-administered antigen test should be performed. In the latter case, the self-certification must be submitted together with the negative result;
- pupils of primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools and of the education and vocational training system who are in isolation can follow the lessons with integrated digital teaching accompanied by a medical certificate confirming their health conditions;
- you are readmitted to class by demonstrating that you have carried out a rapid or molecular antigen test with negative results.
