Still quarrel between Regions on the question of reopening and Phase 2. While Walter Ricciardi, of the Executive Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) and consultant to the Minister of Health, is slowing down the start of Phase 2. “It is absolutely too early – he tells Sky Tg24 -: the numbers, especially in some Regions, are still full of a phase 1 that has yet to end. It is absolutely important not to hurry and continue. “
The governor Attilio Fontana does not believe in the reopening of some regions before the others, in particular before Lombardy, even if this refers to what the technicians will say. “The decisions will be made all together on the basis of the assessments of the technicians to protect the health but – I told ANSA – I don’t think we can get to that because Italy could remain lame”.
On the hypothesis instead that some region decides to close the borders, as the President of Campania Vincenzo De Luca has threatened to do, he limited himself to saying “I hope it has been misinterpreted”.
Fontana then attacks on requests for commissioner and political controversies: “I thought there would be a little more tasteful, wait at least until the end of the storm.” And he adds: “An attack is underway against us,” he added, returning to criticism for what he said about the resolution to put Coronavirus patients in Lazio in the rsa, which he reiterated, “starts from the same ratio as ours: isolating patients Covid “.
On the RSA then an exchange of accusations is staged between Lombardy and Lazio. A resolution similar to that of Lombardy on the RSAs – the Lombard governor Fontana told Radio Padania: “It had been taken by Lazio. But no dispute was made to the governor of Lazio”. According to Fontana, “there is an attempt to attack the Lombard organization. There is an attack in my confrontation as a representative of a certain political party. That crossfire is taking place – he added – which has always been done when the government has he was a representative of the center-right. Here in the government there is a representative not of the center-right, but in Lombardy there is a representative of the center-right “.
“Fontana should not allow me to mystify – Lazio’s councilor for health Alessio D’Amato replies – Rsa was created exclusively in Lazio for positive patients who according to clinical indications do not require hospitalization. On Monday we will open one entirely publishes in Genzano di Roma “.
Lunge also of the governor of Veneto Luca Zaia: “If some presidents close the regional borders then they give them autonomy, it is not North against South, it is South against North”.
“Put yourself in the shoes – added Zaia – of a citizen who gets on the train. If the regional borders are closed, they will all be stopped, the Frecciarossa will be stopped, no type of transport will be authorized, what proposal is it? If then there is someone who he wants to preserve a delicate area, with a very high population or with people at risk, it is understandable, but if they say that they close the regional borders they will tell me how to do it. And I – he concluded – have never signed orders to close “.
And even the President of Tuscany goes on the attack: “Deciding when to reopen businesses is up to the government, which says it’s not time. Very well. But there is a big contradiction with the fact that with a simple communication to the prefectures hundreds of thousands of companies are reopening without security protocols, which have only been developed in a few cases. It is not correct to say in one way and then let it happen in another “. The president of the Tuscany Region Enrico Rossi wrote on Facebook.
The governor of Lazio, Nicola Zingaretti, also spoke. “It is important that now government and regions, with the scientific community, work together with a common goal: to reopen at the right times, in complete safety – he writes on Fb -. It is possible to do it, without controversy. As decided yesterday in the control room, now the national guidelines on “how” to reopen to allow the Regions to give families and businesses certainty about behaviors and measures to be taken are needed soon. Another step forward to be taken together as a country system to organize the rebirth “.
And the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, said that the government was asked “to have some regional peculiarities recognized within the national guidelines” for phase 2. “We asked for national guidelines because Italy is one, but also a margin of autonomy: it is clear that the needs are different and one cannot think of managing in the same way from the cable cars of the Aosta Valley to the vineyards of Pantelleria “, said Toti.
Piedmont, meanwhile, relies on a task force for phase 2 of healthcare. Chaired by the former Minister of Health Ferruccio Fazio, he will have to analyze the structural deficiencies that the coronavirus emergency has highlighted in the Piedmontese health system and from there start for future programming. “Today that the wounds are still open, we are able to understand where the health system needs more interventions and from there we will start to build real local medicine”, explains the governor Alberto Cirio.
