Vaccines, EU-Pfizer agreement: 532 thousand new doses for Italy in March
Stefano bonaccini, President of Emilia-Romagna and of the Conference of the Regions, said this morning: “It may be that the squeeze on weekends is enough”. Responding to a question to Mattino5, about Canale5, he explained: “I know that most regional presidents think that some restrictive measure is needed. Then a closure, if you think about last year” – he continues – there it will be, because “the industries and the construction works would not be closed. ” So, “a zone-by-zone evaluation is needed: last week I decided on the red zones of Bologna and Modena because the infections were very high and I wanted to close down immediately, to immediately stop the contagion.”
Bonaccini stressed that “the Government is right, following the advice of experts and scientists, when thinking about how to give a strong hold for a few weeks. Because there is a need, when it is decided to reopen, not to close anymore ”. The governor said that he imagined that on this point “there will be a confrontation in the next few hours.” The figures are worrying. There is a generalized diffusion, some measures extended to the country serve to stop this wave ”.

Third wave of Covid: this is when the peak will be
The proposals of the second Cts Andrea Crisanti, professor of microbiology in Padua, are heading in the “right direction but they must be undertaken urgently – he says in an interview with La Stampa – next week will be crucial: if the infection will exceed the 30 thousand boxes a day everything will have to be closed. “Can only the red zone contain the English variant?” In England similar measures have been enough – Crisanti- observes – but it is very important that they are followed by all. I’ve been asking for the English variant to contain the variant for months but they didn’t listen to me. We would have prevented so many deaths and this saddens me. “
