A day of swabs so that the majority of the population of Milan understand how many are the positives and successfully control the chain of infections with a view to Christmas. This is the proposal that comes from Elisabetta Strada (leader of Lombardi Civici Europeisti in the Lombardy Region), Laura Specchio (leader of the Civic Alliance of Milan in the Municipality) and Marco Fumagalli (councilor of the Civic Alliance of Milan in the Municipality ).

We agree with Mayor Sala that, when it is necessary to be critical, it is advisable to do so proactively, even regarding health deficiencies. For this reason, as a Group of Civic Alliance, we want to continue providing our contribution through concrete proposals. Promote contagion control, especially for asymptomatic cases, which are many, and to prepare a safer Christmas for everyone, the three councilors propose, we propose to create a ‘T-Day’ in Milan, a Tampone Day, which should see collaboration between the City Council and the Region “.

What is Buffer Day? And does it really work?

“This is a massive screening -explain- already carried out successfully in Alto Adige (which has an Rt index of 1.5) with the participation of 70% of the population over 5 years (more than 350,000 citizens) and the identification of 3,000 asymptomatic patients immediately placed in quarantine, 1% of the total, who, if not traced, would have determined a potential of 95,000 infections in a few days ”.

“Blocking the asymptomatic – the note continues – is essential to stop the epidemic. In fact, 1,200,000 tampons have arrived from Rome and if we add those from the Region we can organize a T-Day Milan, since it is the most affected municipality “.

“We underline – conclude the three civic councilors – that a contribution to the Lombard health program, in obvious difficulty, must be an expression of a coalition contribution, not limited only to the Democratic Party, but involving all center-left forces with concrete and constructive proposals, an approach that Cívicos always strive to follow, because you can only go fast, but together you go far ”.
