Florence, December 11, 2020 – The Covid fronts in Tuscany. On the one hand the hope, understood as an investigation against the disease and also as Minister of Health, who yesterday said: “Among the monoclonal antibodies The most promising against Covid is that of the second generation that arises from the work of a group of researchers from Tuscany Life Science led by teacher Stairs“.
The other front is that of daily struggle: yesterday in Tuscany there were 517 new cases of coronavirusof 9,577 molecular swabs, 2,715 recoveries and 75 deaths (but 45 refer to the previous days).
Finally there is the front of the colors: Tuscany is orange but it is starting to turn yellow, also because if the color change took place on December 20 it would be too late for shops and would risk “opening the doors” too close to Christmas, with the risk of agglomeration in the historic centers. like the Florentine. And the trade associations are not there. “It is essential not to miss another weekend before Christmas. There is much expectation, the transition to the yellow zone of Tuscany like almost all other regions is a duty that the government insists not to assume. data recorded at the health level. It is yet another demonstration of the inefficiency and inability of a government entrenched behind incomprehensible technicalities that bring citizens and businesses to their knees. The Tuscany region is working together with us but, it is evident, it cannot achieve the desired results ”, said the director of Confcommercio, Franco Marinoni.

President Mattarella has accepted the invitation and will also publicly undergo vaccination against Covid if necessary, when his turn comes. A way to invite citizens to do the same – Mazzeo writes in a post – I think it is the wisest and correct choice, all of us who represent the institutions should do the same.

Always with science ”.
