Blockade in Milan and Naples, mayors Sala and De Magistris write to Speranza: “Idea from Ricciardi or from the Ministry of Health?”

The controversy does not stop after the words of the councilor of the Ministry of Health Walter Ricciardi that yesterday evoked a “lockdown for Milan me Naples“In light of the infection trend. The mayors of both cities, Giuseppe Sala me Luigi of Magistris, wrote a letter addressed directly to the minister Roberto Speranza ask clarifications. “We wrote to the minister to ask if that is own opinion consultant or is it an opinion of the ministry“Sala explained in a video on social networks. If “it was an opinion of the ministry”, it is necessary to understand “if it is based on data and information that the ministry has and we do not have“.

The hypothesis of completely closing the Lombard capital has already been rejected by the mayor, at least for now. “Even in the worst case, we would have 10-15 days to decide a confinement, “he explained in an interview with Corriere della Sera, in which he says that “today our doctors and our nurses have to deal with a large mass of hospitalizations and in Milan we only have 13 Usca. I believe however that not yet an unsolvable problem“. For bars and restaurants, says Sala,” closing at 6:00 p.m. devastating grief. For this Sunday I called Minister Gualtieri and I said: ‘Since you want to quickly reimburse those who have a penalty, I make mine available Offices to ensure refunds arrive immediately. ‘”Even the halt to face-to-face classes in high school, sought by the governor Attilio fontana, according to the mayor is too harsh a measure: “I was not I disagree. I would prefer part distance and part distance learning In presence“, Concludes. Sala and Fontana, however, agree in saying no to the new restrictive measures for Milan. “I exclude that the conditions exist to foresee hypotheses of this type, in fact, all our interventions go in the direction of avoiding any type of confinement”, declared the Lombard president in the last hours.

However, according to the adviser of the ministry and member of the WHO Ricciardi, “in Milan and Naples you can take the COVID-19 entering the bar, the restaurant, taking the bus. Being in close contact with something positive is very easy because the virus circulates a lot. In these areas, the blockage is necessary, not in other areas of the country. “A position already anticipated in recent days, when Ricciardi reiterated the urgency of launching local closures that go beyond the restrictions provided at the national level by the last dpcm. However, they must be eliminated by the governors of the Regions or the mayors of the cities in agreement with the Ministry of Health, as happened since last spring for the red zones.

we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we carry out a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more.
