Meetings ban
“We work to increase the levels of control because meetings are a real risk that we cannot afford – said Speranza. “After the masks”, the second rule that is fundamental and that we have learned in recent months is that of a distance of at least one meter and the prohibition of collecting. These are norms already in force in our country that, however, we must do as much as possible within this season of resumption of contagion “due to the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus.”
Handwashing
“We have to remember the essential rules like the handwashing, in addition to the use of masks, this is the dpcm that we will approve tomorrow -speranza added-.

But the protocols identified and approved with the unanimous vote of the Regions are solid and, if they are vigorously respected, they can let us win the game. ”
Vaccine
“The vaccine It will come, not today, not tomorrow morning. We still face months of resistance. You see the light but still takes a few months“Speranza said.” I believe – he explained – that the world scientific community will give us in due course “an answer about the vaccine and anti-Covid treatments. So the invitation for” Italy to get the best of itself. “The minister stressed once again how Italy proved, in the most difficult months, in March, April and May, “to be a great country” and once again invited all Italians to “regain that spirit of unity”, from here until we see the light. We must unite Italy, no one should be left out. “
