“It seems clear to me that we are no longer afraid of dying. I am not in favor of a police state, but it should be clear to everyone that certain behaviors have consequences ”. Thus, the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “You can see it in all the news: this weekend Italian cities have been assaulted,” he says, pointing to the example of Treviso where Mayor Marco Conte had to close the course in the middle of the afternoon because it turned out that, in a city of 80 thousand inhabitants, there were more than 50 thousand people walking through the center at that time. “But it’s not just about today’s numbers,” he adds.

“I think it is a common defeat to continue asking for rules for incorrect behavior and far from civic sense”, Zaia says again, affirming again, regarding a possible ordinance: “However, I have never backed down and if something has to be done it is I will do it again. “Regarding Veneto in the yellow zone, he concludes:” Premise: despite the yellow zone, I adopted an ordinance that closed the large and medium sales structures on Saturdays, all stores on Sundays, and imposed one client every 20 square meters. But the fact is that Veneto, like the other regions, has accepted the national classification. Made not by the broom club, but by the Higher Institute of Health directed by Professor Brusaferro, who enjoys my esteem. I also remember that we are at 0.91 Rt, to go to the orange zone we should have been at 1.25 “.
