D’Amato: “In the cases of Latinas + 155%, new measures are needed”

“Without a doubt there has been an increase in the number of infections that conditioned this choice to tighten the containment measures for 15 days. It is necessary to recover that degree of attention and awareness on the part of the citizens of Latina and the province, The increase in infections could be due to the ‘tourist bubble’ that the city and province registered during the summer, especially in August with a high number of visitors, “he told Adnkronos Damiano Coletta, mayor of Latina.

“During the period of the confinement in my city, my fellow citizens were good, rigorous and observers of the anti-contagion measures, but now more measures are needed to reduce contagion again – Coletta stressed – It is true that the catering category is the one that suffers the most , the one that is penalized the most and that is why I ask everyone to do their utmost to respect the new measures so that they actually last 15 days and not penalize that sector any more ”.

“With the mayors of the territory and the president of the Province we have represented our concerns to the Region, also because the mayors are the so-called ‘front man’ and they must know how to explain what is happening and why. Politics must be able to summarize, ”Coletta explained. It must try to find a balance between health priorities and the impact on the public and not just such strict measures, and finally it must also take charge of situations and protect those punished. Understanding that the health security of citizens has the Priority, however, we cannot forget the economic cost that has already been experienced with the closure “.

The mayor of Latina then launched an appeal to his fellow citizens: “I think I am going to return to the address on Facebook to ask my fellow citizens, who are already very well during the confinement and until now, an extra effort and have even more sense of responsibility and awareness because there is a need to reduce infections. We did it before and we can do it even now: we respect all restrictions and containment measures. Forza Latina! “, commented Coletta.
