“As in the first wave, the virus was concentrated in Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona and Lodi, today it is concentrated in Varese, Monza, Milan, the most affected areas.
“On October 21, the Lombardy Region issued the first ordinance, which is now starting to yield some small but significant results,” while Lombardy’s health system maintains “pressure.” In reference to the measures against contagion implemented by his council, the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, declares it, speaking on Thursday, November 12 in the morning on Radio Rtl 102.5.
According to Fontana “these days we should begin to see the first fruits” of the regional ordinance that he hopes, along with the “subsequent intervention of the Government, to lower the line of contagions.”
“The situation in Lombardy today is certainly one of great pressure – continues the governor -, limited to some areas, since in the first wave the virus was concentrated in Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona and Lodi, today it is concentrated in Varese, Monza, Milan , the most affected areas. Although Lombardy is under great pressure, we can respond to all requests for help. “
“It is from this summer that I say that a balance is needed because we will have to live with the virus until the vaccine – said the president – we will have to implement all those precautions that allow the development of an almost normal life and above all of an almost normal life. economic because there is no doubt that the two emergencies add up; I would say a third emergency, so the health emergency is undoubtedly the main one, but the economic emergency is close as a necessity and as a concern, and the third emergency It is the emergency of the arrest of people, of psychological attempts of people. I understand that at this time there is a little more fatigue than in March, in March there was more determination, the return of the virus after it was thought that it was almost definitely eradicated certainly leaves some marks.
To cope with the economic impact of the anti-Covid restrictions in Lombardy “we should soon issue a provision directed at those activities that we have addressed with our ordinance”, but in the meantime “there is also a third emergency: the psychological stability of people.” . For Fontana, after the health and economic emergency, it is linked to “people’s psychological fatigue”, which therefore runs the risk of not respecting the rules. “In March there was more capacity to react to difficulties, today it has diminished, because time is getting longer,” says Fontana, who, on the economic front, reaffirms his commitment to request immediate relief from the State and, concludes, ” also if we are scraping the barrel ”, the Region also plans an economic support action.
Asked about a possible closure at Christmas, the President of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, replied: “I really hope not, I am convinced that things will calm down.” And lancIt is also an appeal to citizens, who ask them to behave “in compliance with the regulations, this is a mini-confinement and allows a lot of circulation, not violating the rules, not wearing a mask and having gatherings: do whatever it takes, otherwise Christmas runs the risk of trouble. ‘
And then a comment on vaccines: “The vaccines for protected groups, for which there is an obligation to vaccinate, are there, the first 800 thousand doses have already been distributed and the others will soon be distributed,” explains Fontana, commenting on the words of Walter Ricciardi, scientific consultant to the Minister of Health. , according to which Lombardy has been late in procuring vaccines against influenza. “I think Ricciardi should know the facts well before making these observations, we have bought 80% more vaccines than last year, anticipating a larger audience that should have been vaccinated,” continues Fontana, guaranteeing that vaccines for protected groups, to there are those who have an obligation to vaccinate.
