Violation of order implies the application of art. 650 of the penal code.
A shake that the City Council of Piacenza has decided to adopt after the sending, on October 1, of a note from the director of the Local Health Authority of Piacenza, Luca Baldino, who highlighted the need for the possibility of having the obligation to wear a mask even in open-air places throughout the municipal territory ‘, considering that’ the epidemiological trend that has been registered in the last 3 weeks has seen a growing trend in positive cases and in particular in symptomatic cases attributable with certainty to new cases of Covid 19, the latter almost doubling per week ‘
In the same note, it was also highlighted that “almost 50% of the cases represent the municipality of Piacenza, which therefore has a higher rate of new positives per population than the other municipalities in the province” and that “the resumption of school activities and economic and productive activities, fundamentally people’s mobility and community life, increase the risk of the spread of the Coronavirus ”.
BARBIERI “FUNDAMENTALS CONTAINING INFECTIONS” – “As is well known, the health surveillance plan in the area continues – says Mayor Patrizia Barbieri – and at this moment there is an increase in Covid-19 infection. There is no doubt that the full resumption of school and economic productive activities increases the risk of the spread of the Coronavirus and therefore it becomes increasingly likely that, as the number of positive people increases, the possibility that some of them, with personal conditions, also increase. more fragile, they can become seriously ill. Therefore, according to the ASL, taking into account the worsening of the climatic conditions with the arrival of the autumn season as an additional risk factor, it was considered essential to make mandatory, even during the day and outdoors, the use of protection tools. respiratory tract “.
“For all these reasons – continues the mayor – as a preventive measure to contain the number of infections, it seemed essential to issue this ordinance, fully aware that safety devices, masks, are an indispensable measure to protect yourself and others. Once again I thank the people of Piacenza for the commitment and the will with which they are facing this emergency and the limitations it imposes on us and once again I call on everyone to continue to respect the rules and safety requirements, which currently exist. “The only weapon we have at our disposal to limit the spread of the contagion of this terrible virus.”
