The Councilor for Health of the Lombardy Region Giulio Gallera ended up in the storm after publishing a photo on social networks in which he explained that he had run “twenty kilometers on the Naviglio Martesana.” A true violation of the anti-contagion measures adopted by the Conte government, which establish that all citizens who reside in the orange zone, such as Lombardy, cannot – except for proven work or health needs – leave their municipality of residence. Sports activities, in fact, are allowed within the limits of the rules depending on the criticality experienced at that time by the region.
