Toti: “In La Spezia, the situation is absolutely manageable”
Late in the afternoon, the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, admitted that the Covid situation is worrying due to the increase in positive to La Spezia, but that «in the rest of the provinces the situation is what we expected. That is why we focus mainly on La Spezia, where our attention is concentrated due to the outbreak in the Dominican community“. In any case, in La Spezia” there are still other infected people not only among the Dominican community such as, for example, citizens arriving from Bangladesh».
However, anti-Covid controls and preventive measures have been activated by the Liguria Region in view of the schools reopening on September 14; Again, according to Toti, the situation in La Spezia is “absolutely manageable” despite the recent increase in positive cases: “We believe that in the coming days the tension in La Spezia, given the measures taken, should subside.”
Doubt about the La Spezia festival
The opinion is shared by the mayor Peracchini, according to which, given the contrast measures adopted, “in 2-3 days we will have a decrease in positive cases.”
The two did not seem to agree on one point: according to Toti “It cannot be ruled out that the La Spezia promotion party was a “multiplier” of the infections that occurred in the city, but from the data we have available we know that the cluster is prior to the party ”; Peracchini instead said that “I exclude that the La Spezia promo party had a “multiplier” effect about coronavirus infections. These are foreign citizens of few nationalities, some elderly and some shipyard workers.
