Therefore the circular of the Ministry that explains that without booster dose these people must be put in isolation. Professional Serie A players have the obligation of the third vaccination. Why didn't the 3 of Napoli get vaccinated? I don't know, it's not our competence. This is the same Djokovic's situation: he is not vaccinated, there is a health regulation in Australia and therefore he does not participate in the Australian Open ". D'Amore points out that the fourth wave in the territory of ASL Napoli 2 nord is heavy: "Only this morning in Pozzuoli - he explains - we received 12 people with Covid against the 9 discharged. The percentages of hospitalizations have decreased but the numbers are so high. highs that remain frightening. We are talking about 20,000 daily infections in Campania.
