“One of the priorities for all the citizens of the Marches – Acquaroli began – is to keep the evolution of Covid under control without generating alarmism, but ready to face a resumption of the pandemic that is also affecting our territory. It is necessary to examine epidemiological data to understand what action to take. Together with the health authorities, we have evaluated the relevance of an ordinance that, starting at 00:00 on October 4, will make the mask mandatory, throughout the day throughout the region, as well as the one already planned in closed public places. even outdoors, in spaces belonging to places and premises open to the public, as well as in public spaces (squares, open spaces, streets, walks, etc.) in the event of spontaneous and / or occasional gatherings. The obligation for children under 6 years of age, for those with pathologies incompatible with the use of the mask and during the exercise of motor and / or sports activities is excluded. The intention is not to sanction, but to hold all citizens accountable: each of us can contribute to the prevention of which we must remain vigilant.

For this purpose, Asur has been equipped with quick pads that can be used as early as the next few days for any suspicious cases even in schools to shorten response times. The focus is very high in the school sector: October 18 has been set as the deadline to assess the real consequences at the national and regional level after the start of the classroom lessons. As for the Covid Center in Civitanova Marche, there are no ideological prejudices. We will carry out a constant technical evaluation with the operators and establish the criteria from which to evaluate the possible reopening. At the moment the situation is still under control: there are 4 patients hospitalized in intensive care and 2 in subintensive care. In any case, we have verified that two modules of the Covid Center, with 28 beds, are ready for use, the surveillance system is active and the machinery is constantly monitored. The structure is there, we hope it is not useful, but if it does, we will use it.
