Buffers for arrivals from France, there are no checks in Ventimiglia: so the obligation remains on paper. Mayor: “It would stop everything” – Video

For a few days there Coast Azure and all the regions of France bordering Italy have fallen on red alert for the infection and, by law, to return to Italy, the negative result of a Covid swab performed 72 hours before should be mandatory for everyone. Exempted just the finished 7,000 border workers and who have urgent and proven health or family reasons to cross the border. However, this measure that would mean a return to the days of emergency shutdown last March, nobody has received it at the border. The operators of the Imperia ASL 1 they are not equipped to make quick swabs and border police have not received orders to carry out the controls.

“Everything is left to the common sense of the people – They explain from the ASL – that when they enter Italy, if they do not have a certificate with a negative test result, they must contact the ASL to report and wait in voluntary home isolation for the tampon to arrive within 48 hours, remaining in quarantine until ‘arrival of the result’. For the frontier economy this would mean give up the 30,000 French people who go to Italy for a few hours at the weekend, who certainly would not undergo a long process – if it were carried out in public – or very expensive – resorting to the few active private laboratories. “Let’s ask clarity to Minister Speranza – attack the mayor of Ventimiglia Gaetano scullino – the realization of exhaustive controls would definitely put an end to the economy of the cities of the extreme west of Liguria ”. For now, the alarming number of infections in France (+10,000 yesterday alone) seems to be less scary than the economic repercussions that a border blockade could have: “They have been telling us for months, being able to ‘live’ with the virus, therefore masks , distancing and sanitation – Scullino relaunches – but don’t close everything, otherwise it’s over here ”.

Support ilfattoquotidiano.it: never eat right now
we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our job conscientiously, we do a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
