No. of Sala and Region

“To date, the side of the Region has not even remotely the hypothesis of going towards a blockade in the style of March, April and I share it.” These are the words of the mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala during his speech on Monday in the online session of the city council, after meeting with the president of the region Attilio Fontana and the mayors of the Lombard capitals.

“From the point of view of health – said the mayor – essentially what comes out is that the situation still leaves room for observation. I remember that on October 19, when we met with Attilio Fontana and the mayors of the cities, it was assumed that the level of intensive care would be reached on October 31 from 435 to 800 maximum. From this point of view, the situation seems to be a little better. (The scientific committee, ed.) He said that probably the measures we have already taken may have had little effect, because we are still in an early phase.

“In fact, however, probably the behavior of the people, a little scared, a little sensitized – Sala continued – has led to something that cannot be read with total serenity but we recognize that it is a little better than we could imagine 10 days ago. This is the situation today. At this point we are still waiting on the one hand for the Dpcm to come out and on the other for the Region to confirm that Lombardy is in the highest range, which is not automatic ”.

“At today’s meeting – said the president of Anci Lombardia, Mauro Guerra on the sidelines of the summit in the Region – we recorded President Conte’s statements to the parliament and the content of the recent confrontation between the government and the regions. The new Dpcm must contain measures already implemented in Lombardy for the entire national territory, in addition to some more restrictive measures, such as anticipating the limitation of the evening hours of the movement of people, the reduction to 50% of the maximum capacity of vehicles of public transport, the closure of museums and exhibitions, in addition to the limitation of interregional mobility “.

As soon as these general measures of the Dpcm have been fully defined – Guerra continued – in relation to the assessment of the updated situation in Lombardy on the basis of the parameters and indicators that differentiate the risk conditions of the individual Regions, the comparison between the Region and the Minister of Health to define new restrictive measures to apply to our Region. Gradual measures, which are not the closure in March, and regarding which we will discuss with the Region at the same time as the issuance of the Dpcm. And measures to which we request that the Refreshments for penalized activities “.

“At the same time – Guerra concluded – as well as on the restrictive measures, we continued the discussion with the Region on the other front on which it is essential to act, consisting of the strengthening and support of local health activities, also for the maintenance hospital system: rapid tampons. , follow-up, relationship with general practitioners and hiring community nurses, Usca, Covid hotel, flu vaccination. It is necessary to build an increasingly effective balance between the different restrictive measures and those of contrast and containment at the health level ”.
