Milan, the covid hotel closes due to eviction: the owners do not like the transformation “Companies affected by carriers of diseases”

End with one evicted and with sealed papers the inauguration of a Covid Hotel in the center of Milan. The management of the city Ats, Corriere says today in the Milanese pages, on Thursday was handed over by the company that owns the prestigious “King Hotel” in Corso Magenta 19 to beware to stop “any transformation operation into a“ Covid hotel ”. The motivation of the Denas Srl property is that “the hotel is located directly adjacent to other activities and residential properties that can be adversely affected by the presence of subjects at high risk of contagion or carriers of diseases”.
Last night also came eviction notice to the hotel manager, the “King-Mokinba” group that has rented the structure for 35 years and made itself available to offer the spaces as a refuge for non-serious patients who were isolated in the hotel. The story could have an epilogue in court because the hotel manager, represented by the lawyer Pietro longhini, responded immediately to the Region and the Ats: “The alleged consent of the property, beyond any assessment, that we refrain from making, of collective moral and social ethics, is neither required nor due, nor based on the convention, or under the lease. “

To welcome the company, the property challenged the failure to pay a fee which, however, would have been cured in a few days. Therefore, the reasons related to the conversion into a hotel for covid patients persist, which has left health management and the Lombardy Region somewhat perplexed. The Milanese health authority has been working for weeks to establish new “Covid hotels”, having moved very late like most regions. They are places that can house doctors working on the front line and convalescent patients who have no other possibility of isolation. They are decisive structures in the management of the pandemic. With Milan and Italy in the midst of the most dramatic post-war health crisis, and while in the spring the doctors were “heroes” and the victims sick, today (for some) they are only plagued with keeping their distance. It is not the first niet on the part of a structure. Resonant had been the case Induno Olona, where a structure identified by Asst dell’Insubria as a covid hotel left its doors closed to the great surprise of the mayor of Varese Galimberti who had been waiting for months for a list of hotels.

Of course you don’t like the stigma of the hotel for the sick. Even if the experiences carried out so far show otherwise. S.eight control of the Ats, and with the strictest respect protocols that the company already applies to “Bavaria” with certificates of merit, none of these assistance facilities for doctors and convalescents has never caused infections. And the coronavirus, as thousands of international scientific studies show, contrary to what the property claims, it does not migrate into the air hundreds of meters away. According to the real estate agency, the Catholic university, the police station and the archaeological museum (otherwise closed in this period) are also “at serious risk of contagion.” The directors of the “King” reconfirm their “candidacy” in the ATS.
