New Year’s Eve, Lamorgese: “You also check on social networks to avoid house parties. We will be inflexible, even on sanctions: 70 thousand men in the field”

“The controls will be carried out not only on the roads, where we have already operated in these days of the red zone, but also online. This time for the holidays we know that through the retreats on social networks, someone is trying to find structures to meet. We will carry out the necessary interventions so that avoid repeating what happened this summer, when with open discotheques and the participation of Young people there has been a further spread of the virus. It must be absolutely avoided ”. This was said by the Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese who, to the Corriere della Sera and Radio Capital microphones, spoke about control S field for tonight, in view of the New Year Eve. All of Italy is the red zone, with the Curfew extended from 10 p.m. today, December 31, until 7 a.m., January 1But there is a fear that someone, especially among young people, will organize parties and evenings at home.

The nightclubs opened last summer “have contributed to multiplying Covid-19 infections. We can no longer afford it for this we will be inflexible in controls and sanctions – Specified Lamorgese -. We have a massive deployment of law enforcement and we are also very focused on monitoring the internet, to avoid renting houses where they can meet without respecting the rules and distance themselves“He explains. We are still in a phase” in which other sacrifices will be necessary “, but” waiting for the crucial months for the vaccination campaign. “

However, it must be said that the sanctions so far have been few -explained the minister- there is a great sense of responsibility, and on the other hand, at a time when the vaccination phase has begun, and we are seeing the light after a long period of darkness, the sense of responsibility that I am convinced will continue to prevail, even in this very different end of the year others. years. We do checks to avoid further damage, now that the curve goes down, it seems silly, not responsible, to go to parties that are not allowed. In the end it is a day that can be lived as a family. ‘‘We sent 70,000 men -he specified again- to which must be added the personnel of the Municipal Police, throughout the national territory. I will spend the New Year at home with my husband, and on the other hand I will be close to the police forces, which these days will be busy, away from their families, to protect our days, “he concluded.
