Flights from Rome to Palermo and Catania from two to 4, 8 routes instead of 5 through the strait, while the train journey from Rome to Messina remains identical: the Ministry of Transport has decided to double the transport to Sicily, which is will include in an ad hoc decree. “Now let’s broaden a bit,” announces Governor Nello Musumeci, stressing that in reality “there has never been a total blockade”, but that now “even those who wish to be reunited with their families can re-enter.” And to do so, observes the President of the Sicily Region, “they must respect the usual rules, that is, verification at landing and then quarantine. This is necessary because nobody has to think that the game is over. “It is the first step of an effective reopening of the outer region, after, at the time of the epidemic, the governor and, above all, many mayors were put rigid with the arrival of people from the peninsula. It is also a turning point compared to a few hours earlier, when Musumeci himself had said that Sicily would remain armored against external flows, which would trigger the wrath of the external site. “Of course , as time passes we will evaluate the epidemiological data and, therefore, we will increase, we will ask to increase, from time to time, the number of flights, the number of train trips and the number of trips in the Strait “, write now the governor facebook.
Flights to the stars and the warning to Alitalia
The request to increase transport possibilities, especially when it comes to flights, also responds to the economic logic: given the shortage of supply, the price of tickets is increasing. And Musumeci clearly says that he hopes “that Alitalia will not give in to speculation, because it seems to me that the cost of flights in recent days has become inaccessible and unacceptable.” Beginning May 4, travel outside the region can return to your home or city of residence. Many expect a new North-South flow of students and workers off-site.
«I am a father and a grandfather: I understand but you have to be careful»
But there is also a more sentimental part to the decision to broaden the shirts and allow those who live outside to return: “I have received hundreds of requests from young people about everything, ‘Let’s go back, let’s go back.’ I am a father, a grandfather and I understand the emotion very well , the affection and the needs that arise in a family “. Unfortunately, feelings often make a racket with rationality and the need to maintain respect for the rules: “It is difficult to do my job, the governor confesses, this job of having to find the balance point to combine emotional needs, on the one hand, but not only affective, and on the other hand, the need for prudence and precaution to avoid that one can enter Sicily without knowing that they are carriers of the virus. As also happens with the asymptomatic. “The reference is to the famous exodus in early March, when hundreds of positives were found in tens of thousands of people and showed absolutely no symptoms. “So you have to be careful to avoid starting again, and relapse would be more complicated than the first phase. So – concludes the president of the Sicily Region – good return for those who have more than one reason to return to our island, for everything else expect we love with eagerness ».
