Coronavirus, hope: “We work day and night to avoid a new blockade”

“Lock? No line” – In “Half an hour more”, Lucia Annunziata’s program on Rai3, Speranza reiterated that the executive is working to avoid a new confinement. Because the generalization that we decided in March has a social and economic cost that we cannot afford. But the result is not written in the sky, what happens in the next few weeks depends on each one of us. There is no line, no number to put beyond which the lock is activated. Then there are many factors, such as the number of places in intensive care, the age of those infected, “he stressed.

“Obligation of masks? We evaluate” – Speranza also spoke about the possible new obligation to wear masks outdoors. “It is one of the hypotheses we are considering. There will be a parliamentary approval on Tuesday and the government will only make its decisions after parliamentary approval,” she said. Although “we do not have the numbers of cases from other European countries”, said the minister, “now we are in a phase of significant growth of the infection.” That is why “the three fundamental rules must be preserved and reinforced and one of them certainly concerns the masks, whose use is fundamental, truly decisive.”

“Schools, sustainable infections” – Speaking of contagions, Speranza also spoke of cases in the schools after the reopening. “The figures are still absolutely sustainable, there are around a thousand schools where cases have occurred, but there have been rapid interventions by the territorial departments and local health authorities.”
