MILAN (March 5, 2021) – “Lombardy, according to the weekly evaluation of the Control Room of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the Ministry of Health, dedicated to the surveillance of health risk, has orange zone parameters. Considering the increase in the transmission of the virus, determined by the English variant, the ministerial body however recommended to regions where the weekly incidence exceeds the threshold of 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, such as ours, adopt the highest level of mitigation. An initiative that I already adopted yesterday with the decision to strengthen the orange zone, including other restrictions in addition to the closure of schools, such as visits to friends and the transfer to second homes and situations that generate risks of overcrowding. ”This was announced by the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana.
ANTICIPATE THE VIRUS – “An initiative – underlines the president – that is absolutely consistent with today’s evaluation of the control room and that if it had not been carried out, it would have aggravated the epidemiological situation in the region and perhaps forced Lombardy to go into the red zone. I have always said that a balance must be found between health and financial security. Yesterday’s ordinance goes in that direction, just as it goes in the direction of anticipating and not pursuing the virus. Our experts have made it clear, and today the evaluation of the Control Room confirms it, that with the presence of variants there is no time to lose. We need to act quickly. I hope that these restrictions are enough to slow down and stop the infection race, eliminating the risk of the red zone ”.
SUPPORT FOR PARENTS – “I am very sorry for the inconvenience that parents have had to face due to the closure of the school, but I would like you to understand that unfortunately it is infections and viruses, sometimes, that dictate the times, especially with these variants that involve More young people. However, through Vice President Moratti, we urged, this morning at the Conference of State Regions, the Government to immediately release support for families, such as childcare allowances and paternity leave “.
