THE POST OF EMILIANO – “I am not reassured by the fact that the Apulian health system is no longer under pressure as it was a few days ago. It does not reassure me, writes the governor on Facebook, that our intensive care units and Covid wards are available for further hospitalizations.
Our hospitable capacity cannot be the motivation to lower our guard on contagion control.
Health workers are tired and we cannot think of leaving the task of dealing with the situation only in hospitals.
Many mayors also complain about the difficulty of the police forces in enforcing anti-corruption rules for citizens.
The classification as a yellow zone of Puglia based on the indicators and algorithms developed by the Government may not offer sufficient guarantees for the stability of some territories.
That is why we are working with Pierluigi Lopalco, Vito Montanaro, Lucia Bisceglia, Rossana Lanza to prepare an ordinance to be agreed with Minister Speranza that maintains the provinces of Foggia and Bat and part of the Murgiana area of ​​the metropolitan city of Bari in the orange zone. Yesterday I signed the ordinance that assigns free choice family doctors and pediatricians the task of treating Covid positives at home, making swabs and placing close contacts of the positives in fiduciary isolation in accordance with the agreement. signed with most affiliated physician representative organizations. Tonight videoconference with the presidents of the provinces and the metropolitan area and with the mayors of the interested provinces and with President Anci Puglia Domenico Vitto to get his opinion on the possibility of keeping part of Puglia in the orange zone. The draft of the ordinance will be delivered to the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, who must, together with the government, ensure the coverage of snacks to companies that will have operational limitations due to the expansion of the orange zone.
Any ordinance signed by me will go into effect next week with proper notice.
From this it follows that tomorrow Sunday the rules of the yellow zone will be applied throughout Puglia in application of the order of Minister Speranza ”.
