The adviser to the Minister of Health considers a new total closure of the Lombard capital essential, but the Lombard governor excludes it. Mayor Sala also spoke on the subject: “Now I do not agree, the situation is not so critical. Even in the worst case we would have between 10 and 15 days to decide on a possible closure.”
Walter Ricciardi argued this morning that a new lock would be needed for Milan. The professor of Hygiene at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and a consultant to the Ministry of Health believes that only with this measure, accompanied by other collateral initiatives, infections could be reduced with visible results in just eight days. Ricciardi’s opinion sparked debate, attended by Mayor Giuseppe Sala and Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana (LIVE UPDATES – MAPS AND GRAPHICS – THE EMERGENCY IN LOMBARDIA AND MILAN).

Coronavirus, Ricciardi: Necessary blockade for Naples and Milan
Giuseppe Sala commented on Walter Ricciardi’s words to the Corriere della Sera, declaring himself absolutely opposed to the closure of Milan now. “They did not consult me, I do not think that is the case and I also say it with regard to Ricciardi – added the mayor – I just received a text message from a virologist whom I trust a lot who says that yesterday there were about 80 patients intubated in Milan and 200 in Lombardy. Even in the worst case, we would have 10-15 days to decide on a possible lockdown. “
“Closing in 15 days? I have no items to say”

Covid Lombardia, Fontana: “Blockade? No conditions”
Giuseppe Sala continued observing that “the average intensity of care is the point that blocks hospitals, with a huge mass of hospitalizations. I do not think that the problem is unsolvable and that it should now lead to a generalized closure”. Regarding a possible total closure in 15 days, the mayor responded that “he has no elements to say.”
Fontana: “There are no conditions”
On the hypothesis of a new blockade due to the emergency of the coronavirus, the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, declared that he excluded “that the conditions exist to predict hypotheses of this type.”
