This is what the mayor said at the end of the meeting of the public order and security commission: “We do not see the need to close roads or squares, all the police will have converged instead on the controls to comply with anticovid regulations.”

In Bergamo, distance education will increase to 50%. This was reported by the mayor of the city of Orobic, Giorgio Gori, at the end of the meeting of the Public Order and Security Committee that met in the Prefecture to discuss the new measures to be adopted to contain infections. The first citizen announced that the capacity of buses destined for schoolchildren will be reduced from the current 80%, planned at the national level, to 60%: “We will see with the public transport agency if it is also necessary to increase the bus supply, which It is already 20% higher today. ”(CORONAVIRUS: ALL UPDATES – CONTAGION MAPS AND GRAPHS – THE SITUATION IN LOMBARDIA)

“Law enforcement at all controls”

Gori then stated that in Bergamo, for the moment, “we do not see the need to close streets or squares: it would take 10 officers to close the Piazza Pontida, just as it would take 50 to close the Piazza Santo Stefano in Florence. All the police forces – he continued – will converge instead on the controls to comply with the anticovid rules and against the concentrations ”, added the mayor. To coordinate the activity throughout the province, a task force coordinated by the police will be established.

“Let’s be careful”

Therefore, Gori invited his fellow citizens to pay attention and respect the current regulations. “The numbers are growing strongly, not here for now, but in Milan, Monza and Varese. It is true that the citizens of Bergamo, who above all have faced the worst consequences of Covid, are now prudent and follow the containment measures provided by the government and the region. The projections at the Lombard level – he explained – speak of 6 thousand hospitalizations and 800 in intensive care in two weeks: this is the reason for the new national and Lombard contractions. Today or tomorrow the new regional ordinance will come out that provides for a curfew for the entire region, aware that the first results of all this will be achieved in two weeks ”.

“Anyone who suffers financial damage must be reimbursed”

“I have the economic aspect very close to my heart, because I know that everything that is limited still contains work, even in sectors that for others may be entertainment, such as bars – Gori continued -. That is why we must be fully aware that there are workers penalized for these decisions, but the government is very clear on this aspect because it has foreseen 4 billion for the missing income from these activities. Here in Bergamo – he concluded – I do not exclude that we can reactivate the distribution of non-refundable contributions to those who have lost their turnover “.
