“The return of the virus is timely, in Sicily Already in July we recommend using the mask. Perhaps we were the only ones in Italy to do it, to recommend respect. We are in autumn, the numbers are known to all. The figure grows. Some regions are in serious trouble. We are not in an emergency but we must avoid getting there. It takes responsibility to avoid the worst, ‘said Musumeci. We do not want to argue with the central government. From our point of view, some measures have been penalizing, I am thinking above all about wedding events, confirmations. I received the representatives of that sector that has the greatest impact in Sicily. Many protest. The winter months are those in which the virus becomes most virulent. We keep the situation under control with Councilor Razza with the technical scientific committee and with the health workers. We buy millions of fast tampons and that helps us to be autonomous for a while ”.

The situation of hospitals

“The hospital wards are neither red nor orange. The strategy is to go in search of the positive in the area. So everyone is safe. That’s why constant screening is needed, swabs are needed, and mass surveillance is needed. We have an army in white coats. And then, in the next few hours, there is a call for tenders to hire medical and technical assistants. Let’s gather a fundamental human resource to neutralize the contagion. I am convinced that if we maintain this spirit of fearlessness, we must be cautious and prudent, we will soon come out of it and we must come out with the least possible damage.

Companies in trouble

“We have to grit our teeth, and I want to hope that the State knows how to be present in favor of Sicilian companies that will inevitably limit their activity and someone will have to suspend it – said Musumeci -. I appeal to the unitary spirit that has characterized us Sicilians. Unfortunately we have to live with this damn virus. Containing your reach is always tied to behavior. We will do whatever it takes. We did and will continue to do so. We are in constant dialogue with doctors and mayors ”.

“Let’s be united”

Finally, the call to unity: “If everyone does their duty, we can face winter with serenity.. In the end we will be the winners with the virus. Sicilians are used to difficult seasons and that is why we must continue together. “
