THE WORDS OF MOUTH: KEEP UP YOUR GUARD – “We have always been worried since January, in the sense that whoever is not worried is unconscious. Do not worry about the circulating virus is not from the representatives of the institutions. Obviously it is a concern that leads to being rigorous and prudent. Worry is different from fear. This was stated by the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, who from the Prefecture of Taranto participated in the extraordinary unified conference with Regions and local authorities that approved the Iss document on the management of Covid in schools.
“We knew – he added – that the great sacrifice of the confinement and the great work done by the health workers in the most dramatic moments would have made the country safe. If so, I repeat, it is due to the loyal collaboration between the Government , the Regions and Local Administrations. None of us thought, when we saw that the numbers dropped so much, that it was all over. Whoever said it was unconscious or superficial and we stay away from the unconscious and superficial. “At a scientific level, observed the Minister, “it is clear that unprecedented work is being done in Italy, in Europe, with regard to research for treatment and vaccines. At the moment we have no other way than behavior, distance and rigor. So the concern it will always be there, but it must not be terrorism, it must be the ability to fully tell oneself about the things that can and cannot be done. ”Boccia confirmed that“ today Commissioner Arcuri has started or the distribution of desks “and regarding the delivery of abandoned structures to schools to overcome the lack of spaces that can guarantee distancing, the minister replied that” Minister Azzolina will evaluate this. Each territory had the maximum availability of the Government. This is a great responsibility for the municipalities and provinces. For this, we will carry out a territorial evaluation ».
