The first is trivial: we are informed in advance because the services do not they can be reorganized in 48 hours. The second is fundamental: we do our part reorganizing, for example, the transport and the subway, but if the others do not do their part, everything becomes useless. I mean the fact that we are working to ensure the public transport with a system that controls the entrances to the metro stations and blocks them when a certain number is exceeded. On the floor of the wagons we will draw circles to guarantee the distance. However, this will reduce capacity at rush hours. to the point: if the trade does not agree with the staggering of store hours, if the Istrian Ion ministry does not regulate class times, the system will not m antiene. We must work in the times of the city. Third condition? It’s good to reopen, but for sure. People should be clearly informed if they are given the mask or if they should buy it.
