Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response
Dr. Gianni Buquicchio:
The Deputy asked two questions, one on testing and the other on vaccinations. In regard to testing, Article 8 of the convention includes some limitations to the protection of the [inaudible]life when there are situations such as this crisis. In principle, testing can be imposed for protecting the health of the individual but also of the other people, which is even more important. In regard to vaccination, this must be a choice but I hope that everybody will choose to be vaccinated when vaccination is possible.
