“Sicily is not among the regions, from the list published today, whose intensive care may cause concern in terms of the number of vacancies. This is the sign that work has been done in recent months to prevent it, ”Regional Health Councilor Ruggero Razza told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting in Catania prefecture.

“The President of the Region will adopt measures that must be linked to specific areas of the territory with entry and exit restrictions – Razza stressed – with an invitation to manage particular protocols for public establishments. We have to ensure a difficult balance: the protection of the right to public health and the right of every citizen, worker, employer, student to lead a normal life. This is the work that President Musumeci has entrusted to the health system, which is in a double condition: ensuring the protection of both Covid and non-Covid patients and guaranteeing support to the economic system so that a new lockdown is avoided .

It will be difficult weeks. Today there are municipalities in the provinces of Palermo, Trapani, Agrigento, Messina that have highlighted a growing number of infections, we will assess the epidemiological impact and adopt initiatives during the day. We don’t want to close down, we don’t want to see merchants on the street as happened in some regions, we want children to go to school ”.

“National regulations allow regions to adopt restrictive measures compared to national ones, which has already happened in some municipalities and will continue to happen in others in our region, but we will work to prevent it from affecting all of Sicily. This also depends on the citizens – If we were to examine the data – he added – 180 Sicilian municipalities today do not register infections, it is a significant number. Some initiatives will refer to the provision that today I will propose to the President of the Region the two metropolitan cities of Palermo and Catania, where we imagine a strong improvement of the health of the territory. Sicily was one of the first regions to be equipped with rapid swabs, we are acquiring a million salivary swabs, for screening in the territories, a feature already adopted in the ordinance. through the announcement of the last days We had the ‘membership of 3,000 professionals and we hope to reach 4,000, we will introduce professionalism that c will feel increased detection in each territory. During the weekend we will start with those on the smaller islands. “
