According to the grid drawn by the new decree of the Prime Minister, Lombardy is in the “red band”, that is to say, it is a scenario of “maximum gravity”.

Along with the other regional presidents, he reiterated the request for homogeneous measures for the entire national territory. Why? For at least three issues: manageability, money and time.

Whereas, in turn, governors could (or should) activate different measures also for the individual urban areas of the respective territories, on the upper floors of Palazzo Lombardia, the “fragmentation” of the irregular measures is considered to be «Difficult handling“Second, there is the question of financial resources and regulatory support: for days Fontana has indicated that” refreshments “are necessary for each category that will be penalized by the new measures.

Also because, the leaders of Lombardy point out, based on the time interval examined by Fr.The geography of the Regions can also change a lot to be considered in “red band”.

Around these disputes was formed a transversal front of governors politically and geographically. And in Lombardy, squeezed between doctors calling for a total shutdown in the face of “tsunami” risk and merchants fearing economic disaster, they are also aligned. President Fontana and Mayor Beppe Sala that in recent days it had agreed with the governor to avoid a closure like the one in March.
