Phase 2, 2.8 million Italians return to work since May 4

ROME – “The next step will mobilize between 2.7 and 2.8 million Italians.” It is the decision made in these hours by the government, engaged in videoconference with the working group led by Vittorio Colao. They are workers who join those who work during the closure of chains and activities considered essential to deal with the emergency. The number of those returning to work is actually much higher because others will continue to do smart work, with those over 65 and other groups of more struggling workers remaining protected.

The manager presented to the President of the Board a document (five pages accompanied by slides) that highlights the necessary requirements for the country to restart. Among the former, the immediate need for a protocol for public transportation, considering that 15% of manufacturing and construction workers use them to go to work. Then there is the need to update the security protocol signed with the unions on March 14. And above all, there is a need to have personal protective equipment available, which is worth more than an app right now. Commissioner Domenico Arcuri announced that 4 million masks are currently delivered per day. However, 7 million are needed.
