Conte: “With smart work and digital teaching, our goal is to keep the contagion curve under control”

“We have just launched a Dpcm with more restrictive but necessary measures. That Dpcm was born from a long confrontation between all the majority forces, represented by the respective heads of delegation. These measures are not in doubt. Rather, they must be explained to a suffering population, which legitimately asks to understand the reasons for the government’s decisions.

Giuseppe Conte He intervenes in the pages of the Fatto Quotidiano to explain the reasons that led to the schedule limitations and the closure of restaurants, gyms, cinemas and theaters.

“We have not decided these closures indiscriminately – says the Prime Minister – All the measures implemented respond to the need to keep the contagion curve under control. With smart work and the use of distance education in secondary schools, we intend to reduce the times of meetings and especially the influx of means of transport during the day, because we know that it is above all where crowds are created and therefore opportunities. contagion. Buying hundreds of new public transport immediately is impossible, so it was necessary to decongest the public transport system by acting on school and work and other exit opportunities, such as sports in gyms and swimming pools ”.

“The same thing we did at night – He said first – We have reduced all the socializing opportunities that push people to go out at night and ride public transportation. Going out at night to a restaurant, cinema or theater means taking public transport or taxi, stopping sooner or later in a square to have a drink or meet with friends, lower the threshold of attention and generate agglomerations. That is why we have suspended the activities of restaurants, cinemas and theaters. Therefore, there is less incentive to leave home. Not only that: by decreasing the opportunities to socialize, we also decrease the number of contacts that each of us can have, thus making it easier to trace in case a person is positive. Without these measures the curve is destined to spiral out of control ”.
