WORDS FROM LOPALCO: «From the beginning we were against this idea of ​​dividing regions with such a complicated system, we could well do a single measure for all of Italy and not waste time freaking out with indicators and arguing. Because then, in the end, these colors look like a report card while indicating a risk. This was stated by the epidemiologist and health advisor of the Puglia region, Pierluigi Lopalco, speaking with RadioBari and commenting on the government’s decision to divide Italy into risk areas, yellow, orange and red. «This summer, the greatest tourist influx, also in terms of discos and beaches, we had in Salento, but Salento is not the area of ​​Puglia most in crisis. The north of the region is more in emergency. Overcrowding at nightclubs or beaches has no correlation with what is happening now and is the result of individual and social behaviors in early fall.
