For Speranza there are still too many people on the streets and to reduce the number of infections “we have 48 hours to try to give one more squeeze.” Later, the minister assured that the intensive care and the school are maintained, explaining that it must be defended as much as possible, but in an epidemic context “it is not intangible.” At the moment the fundamental problem is not yet the maintenance of intensive care, which “for a few weeks will still be quite manageable.” While at the schools hub, Speranza noted that “the curve is increasing so rapidly that it runs the risk of calling face-to-face teaching into question.”

Regarding the school, the hypothesis is to leave to the Regions the possibility of suspending the lessons in presence also for the primary and secondary schools as Campania and Puglia have already done: “It is no coincidence that we have not challenged the ordinances”. The minister takes “for granted” the closure of the borders between the regions. “And unfortunately there is a need for strong interventions also in Lombardy, one of the areas of the country that is in the worst conditions. Based on the data of the Scientific Technical Committee, we sat down with President Attilio Fontana and Mayor Giuseppe Sala and evaluated decisions to make “. Regarding the problem of public transport, Speranza does not exclude that “in the most difficult areas it is decided to lower a little compared to 80% of the capacity of vehicles.
