spice – After a weekend that saw an explosion of coronavirus cases in the province, the mayor of La Spezia, Pierluigi Peracchini, takes stock of the situation to the microphones of the press.
On Friday there were 275 active cases in the provincial territory, yesterday there were 387 and today the figure reached 430 (read here). A strong acceleration, heralded by figures that already for about ten days have placed the province of La Spezia at the top of the increase in cases, hospitalizations and admissions to intensive care in Liguria.
“The situation is under control. Protection measures must be respected, such as the one issued by the Region for the use of masks 24 hours a day in public places or places open to the public, distancing and personal hygiene. We monitor the situation day by day. day and we have many hospitalized patients who do not care, apart from two elderly people with previous pathologies who objectively have little hope – declared Mayor Peracchini this morning -. It seems that the trend is towards an improvement in the numbers registered in recent days. We have one week / ten days left. To appreciate the effects of the ordinance, I ask everyone to be responsible, not to get agitated and to be constant in our mutual respect ”.
Meanwhile, in accordance with the attempt to reduce the chances of contagion, the ordinance that allowed music to be made in discos until 10 p.m. has been revoked …
“Yes, we made this decision out of prudence. In the next few days we will see, but the hospital has enough places for the needs of the moment and there are some in ASL 3 and 4. But this situation must be brought in as soon as possible.”
The provincial framework is complex, but are infections widespread in all municipalities?
“No, the data shows that the most affected is the newspaper itself. There are cases in 21 municipalities of the province and the provision of obligation to always wear a mask was issued to prevent infections from spreading to others. Caution It is maximum, but the boys move easily within the province and therefore the use of the mask is essential to limit the risks ”.
The other mayors of the province, therefore, will they not be called to dictate specific ordinances?
“The competence belongs to the Regions, that is why the order in the masks was dictated by President Toti and not by me. Then, if there were particular situations, the mayors, as health authorities, can join and consult the prefect. city, since in the worst moment of the pandemic we are all ready to go, available and ready with structures other than hospitals, such as the blue moon and the university campus. With the councilor for civil protection, Giampedrone, we have decided to implement the Same procedures as in recent months, to allow quarantines or discharges of still positive patients to pass in safe and protected places. We reactivated this system because during the emergency it was the best in Liguria. “
What other initiatives in the coming days?
“We will sensitize young people about the use of masks with Civil Protection, Red Cross and unions. This morning I had a meeting with the health and social director of the ASL to establish the procedures that citizens must follow and what help we can provide them. shopping, medicines … We activate as in a maximum emergency. We are not in this condition, fortunately, but we cannot neglect anything. The delay in submitting to tampons despite symptoms by some has led us to this point. , but now all together to get out of it. “
And meanwhile the first bell is approaching …
“Yes, we are in the week before classes start. We have done everything that was asked of us, as a Municipality and as a Province, but the parents’ anxieties are there and they are understandable. We have to start, to arrive as soon as possible upon return “. to normality, to compensate for the time lost in training and teaching. We have applied all the circulars and guidelines of the ministry, also from the point of view of transportation. It is clear that we are experiencing an anomaly that can also have moments of criticality, but we need strong nerves and we face problems: it will require a little effort and a little more attention from everyone ”.
Impossible to think of a forward change on the first day of school?
Also in this case the competence belongs to the Regions, but due to the exceptional situation, the date was decided by the government. If the ministry called the Region, I think President Toti would be willing to think, as he always did until the first weeks, they will settle down. I understand who wants to postpone, but we run the risk of postponing it indefinitely, while all of Europe goes to school. Over time, from time to time the necessary measures will be taken. “
In addition to the concrete of the Dominican community, there are those who point the finger at the celebrations for the promotion of La Spezia. What you think?
“You know scientifically how things are and how long the incubation period lasts. The fact of the La Spezia fans did not affect: until three or four days ago the figures were of a natural increase. They are the last to register higher figures and we know how this group was formed and spread. The virus is in circulation and anyone can get infected, we must manage it and make it harmless. If we want to play blame and divide the city, I am not there. Now is the phase where you must understand the problem and help the needy “.
