Buffer day for Christmas?
In view of December, when the region could find itself in the orange zone, on Wednesday morning the idea of a “tampon day” was launched so that the majority of the population of Milan understand how many positives there are and successfully control the chain of infections. in view of Christmas.
The proposal was signed by Elisabetta Strada, director of the Lombardi Civici Europeisti group in the Lombardy region, Laura Specchio, director of the Civic Alliance of Milan in the municipality, and Marco Fumagalli, councilor of Alleanza Civica Milano in the municipality.
We agree with Mayor Sala that, when it is necessary to be critical, it is advisable to do so proactively, even on health deficiencies. That is why, as a Group of the Civic Alliance, we want to continue providing our contribution through concrete proposals. Promote contagion control, especially for asymptomatic cases, which are many, and to prepare a safer Christmas for everyone, the three councilors propose, we propose to create a ‘T-Day’ in Milan, a Tampone Day, which should see collaboration between the City Council and the Region. “.
“This is a massive screening – they explain – already carried out successfully in Alto Adige (which has an Rt index of 1.5) with the participation of 70% of the population over 5 years of age (more than 350,000 citizens) and the Identification of 3,000 asymptomatic people immediately placed in quarantine, 1% of the total, which, if not traced, would have determined a potential of 95,000 infections in a few days ”.
“Blocking the asymptomatic – continues the note – is essential to stop the epidemic. In fact, 1,200,000 tampons have arrived from Rome and if we add those from the Region we can organize a T-Day Milan, since it is the most affected municipality “.
