Several were registered last night land on the island of Lampedusa, which has been filled up again. In total, 11 boats arrived in which a minimum of 11 to a maximum of 81 migrants traveled. The rescue operations were coordinated by the Port Authority and the Guardia di Finanza, who took measures to rescue the passengers with the patrol boats.
Now the hotspots in Lampedusa are at risk of collapsing again, after 26 landings that took place in just 30 hours and brought a total of 665 migrants. All migrants will now be subjected to a nasopharyngeal swab to establish their possible positivity for coronavirus, after which they will be placed snow quarantine in the section dedicated to the infected, if they test positive, or in the huts where there are healthy people.
Migrants, the army comes to the rescue
To try to manage the situation, migrants were also sent army men, says Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese, who also said she was concerned about the high number of migrants arriving on our shores, specifying however that from the point of view of health the situation is under control:
“We sent the military to Sicily not because of the covid but because there were many arrivals and for the necessary controls we sent a large number of soldiers. In the first reception facilities, where 56 thousand people are present today, positive cases equal 2.17%. This is surely an area where we pay so much attention that we do our tampons when they arrive.
The story was also commented on by Matteo salvini, the leader of the League, who after the first 15 landings that brought 433 migrants shouted to the “Failure of an incapable government that speaks of humanity but forgets the death of a minor who was on board a quarantine ship”.
The situation in Calabria
Sicily is not only a land of disembarkation for migrants, in recent days there are also Calabria it has been the target of new landings. In total they were registered 7 landings in the last 8 days on the Ionian shores. The last rescue was carried out this morning, shortly before dawn, bringing ashore 57 people of Iranian and Iraqi origin.
An unprecedented situation for Calabria, which now seems to have more and more to deal with this problem, in addition in this case all migrants have been tested to assess any positivity to the coronavirus.
