In theory, the plan of the Italian government is: opening up some islands. The criteria include having an adeguate hospital system, at least one ICU, and follow the safety and health measures. This way, the islands should be able to guarantee a safe summer. The concept is: vaccinate here first. And vaccinate the whole population of the islands.

The Presidents of insular regions like Sardinia and Sicily are pressuring the government to confirm these regulations. Both governors asked the Italian Prime Minister Draghi to be brave. In their opinion, the concept should go beyond full, 100% vaccinations of the small islands like the Eolie. Instead, immunize the two main islands, like Sardinia and Sicily.
