Governor Francesco Acquaroli

And it is precisely the governor, Francesco Acquaroli, in a post on his Facebook profile to specify: «As you know, the Marches are in the“ yellow ”band. This confirms that our situation, although with many infections per day, remains under control today and gives us a strong stimulus to do everything possible to stabilize and then flatten the contagion curve. Today we learn that our Rt index is 1.25, down from last week. Now we are all called to a great team game, because the responsibility of each one of us is reflected in the people we love and who surround us every day. The “yellow” band is a freedom that we should all strive to maintain. We stick with it, we stick to the rules, we will all try harder in the coming weeks and soon we will defeat this nasty virus. We can only do it together. Meanwhile, the control procedure of all municipal employees was started in Corridonia after one of them tested positive for coronavirus. Quick swabs done on a voluntary basis to control the situation and prevent any spread. The 18 guests from the nursing home are all negative, the operators are waiting for the test results.
