Shops are closed in Sicily on Sundays and holidays. This was announced by Governor Nello Musumeci at night, withdrawing the contrary measure communicated two weeks ago. “We are in a phase of great attention – says the President of the Region – and I have decided to accompany national and regional decisions with an ordinance that aims to support the first positive signs, avoiding on Sundays and holidays the collection occasions that we have seen in so many images published by the media. We ask everyone to make an effort in the next big days ”.
Musumeci adopted an ordinance tonight that provides for the closure, on Sundays and other holidays, of commercial activities with the exception of pharmacies, parapharmacies, tobacconists, newsagents and the home for food products, fuels for domestic use and heating. “We owe it – says the governor – to health professionals who are demonstrating an unprecedented capacity for intervention, but we also owe it to all economic operators facing a difficult moment and, ultimately, we owe it to ourselves to ourselves, because we must return to a life as normal as possible in the times imposed by the pandemic ”.
“I heard from Minister Speranza – continues Musumeci – who anticipated the decision to renew his ordinance for all orange areas in Italy, establishing a first technical comparison for next week for a new regional risk assessment. During the call. With the regional councilor for Health, the minister has been able to highlight the improvement of the regional framework, also in light of the containment measures that had already been adopted ”.
The President of the Region announces that “in the next few days we will continue to monitor contagion rates, with the evaluation of measures to reduce extra-regional mobility, with the adoption of containment protocols shared with local authorities, with screening in the categories. We must all do our part and we cannot ignore the behavior of people who too often seem marked by a lack of responsibility. The President of the Region has the duty to guarantee the difficult balance between the right to health and the right to sociability. “
“We have received – Musumeci concludes – the indications from our epidemiological observatory and the Region is expanding the monitoring in larger areas of the municipalities, with objective parameters that lead to the adoption of” red zone “measures. We need opportunity, but above all rigor Scientific verifications. Verifications are needed to ensure the effectiveness of the measures. What is not needed, I say it with respect to all opinion, are the controversies that tend to divide the institutions. I give my message of unity from President Mattarella and I want to be an interpreter, guaranteeing that, since the beginning of the health emergency, we have made decisions that are the result of analysis and exchange.
