The investigation by the Cagliari Prosecutor for a culprit epidemic continues. The infectious diseases specialist of the scientific committee of Sardinia denies having given a favorable opinion to the approval of the dance floors decided by the president of the Region on August 11: “I tried to reduce the damage of a political election that had already been taken”. Solinas: “Setting up a media case”
“That email is not, nor can it be considered, an opinion of the CTS. Not a positive opinion on the idea of keeping the nightclubs open in summer, which, as a Commission, we have always officially opposed, considering it dangerous and wrong, given the large influx of tourists to the island. I only spoke in a personal capacity ”. This was interviewed by the infectious diseases specialist Stefano Vella by Repubblica about the email sent to the director general of the Health Department of the Sardinia Region, at the order of President Christian Solinas on August 11 that he reopened the island’s nightclubs on 15 of August. . Solinas’ measure ended up at the center of an investigation by the Cagliari Prosecutor’s Office for a culprit epidemic linked to the coronavirus emergency (LIVE UPDATES – SPECIAL). Vella, heard yesterday by the police investigators, would have reiterated what he said to the press. “Someone accompanied the television crews to mount more or less truthful media cases that generated a negative image of Sardinia as a trice from the rest of Italy, while this was not the case,” Solinas said today in a video press conference. .

In the email that gave the green light to Solinas’ order to reopen the clubs, Vella wrote: “At the moment I have only listened to Giovanni Sotgiu (the other member of the CTS, then Pietro Cappuccinelli and Francesco Cucca were also part de ella, ed.), but it’s fine for him and me – reads the text -. Because they are only outdoors and it is inevitable and necessary that they reopen, in addition to the police controls, which will have to be reinforced. “The message was sent at 9:28 p.m. to the director general of the Department of Health, Marcello Tidore, of whom Vella had received the text of the ordinance to make the appropriate assessments at 7:53 p.m.

“I gave the go-ahead – specifies Vella – only to the text of the ordinance that was sent to me at the last minute, without the CTS ever being summoned. In the Region they were in a hurry to get it out. I did it because, without prejudice to our opposition to the reopening, the draft incorporated our indications, such as the prohibition of dancing indoors. I tried to reduce the damage of a political choice that had already been made. “As for the statement,” it is inevitable and necessary that they reopen, “explains the infectious disease specialist:” I meant it to them, since I they had made it understood explicitly. , it was inevitable and necessary to reopen them. For them, certainly not for us ”.

Meanwhile, from the judicial circles of Cagliari, we learn that Vella’s email is still considered a favorable opinion of the CTS, given that the draft of the ballroom ordinance was presented to him, later signed by Governor Solinas. . Today will also be heard from Vella’s colleague, Giovanni Sotgiu, who according to Vella himself “had not even been able to read the draft of the ordinance. However, some of the indications inserted to reduce the damage were taken from his previous observations.” Some members of the CTS will also be heard by the Tempio prosecutors who are verifying whether the opening of nightclubs in Costa Smeralda has really affected the increase in Covid infections.
