Stop to ships arriving in Sicilian ports, or rather, they will be able to dock but i migrants they will not be able to land. Quarantine is planned for on board ships. It is one of the measures taken by the government to deal with the emergency Coronavirus. A decision taken this afternoon after the conference call that the governor held with the premier Giuseppe Conte and after the summit with all the prefects of the island. In short, the Sicily it closes and tries to limit the infection to the maximum. The same issue of arrival security concerns migrants. “We believe that any arrivals of migrants on the Sicilian coasts should foresee, in the interest of the migrants themselves, that it is prudent that the quarantine and all the necessary health care are prepared on board the same ship. We must avoid introducing elements that can create alarmism “. explains Musumeci. “If it had been my competence I would have deployed the carabinieri to every transit point of arriving passengers in Sicily. Sicily is not in emergency – continues the number one at Palazzo Orleans after meeting with journalists -, but we must be rational, masters of ourselves, to understand that nothing should be underestimated and we are not doing it. We are mobile and we are doing everything possible to prevent the phenomenon from having more drastic consequences. Life continues regularly but with greater prudence. And we must all collaborate “.
As for the rest of the checks on the island, Musumeci he wanted to point out that: “Apart from the airports, then there is the problem of who arrives with the trains and there has not been carried out any check as well as with the buses – he explains – I think I have the right and duty to ask that Sicily does not become the land of arrival for those who know that here it finds no control and therefore no barrier. We are also a border region on the Mediterranean, we demand that the checks be carried out on a strict and strict basis: this we asked verbally this morning at the meeting of the Council of Ministers “.
The topic of checking passengers arriving in Sicily it is at the center of government issues. “The responsibility for checking arrivals arrives is the State, not the Region. It was confirmed by the head of the Civil Protection during the Council of Ministers that the scheduled checks were carried out on passengers arriving at Sicilian airports. I continue to reiterate that the news is not entirely true: the checks were not carried out on a random basis but occasionally. It was not a constant, massive and therefore effective activity “.
